2 Dead As Gunmen Reportedly Attack Vehicle With Ballot Boxes In Iran

RFL/RE – Unidentified gunmen attacked a vehicle carrying election boxes in Iran’s Sistan-Baluchistan Province, killing two security force members and injuring several others, Iran’s state news agency IRNA reported early on June 29. Quoting an “informed source,” IRNA said the attack occurred in the village of Jakigor just minutes after voting ended in a presidential election being held to replace Ebrahim Raisi, who was killed in a helicopter crash last month. Authorities did not immediately comment on the report. IRNA did not say whether the ballot boxes were damaged or taken.
