A video has surfaced showing an Iranian police officer, identified as Mahmoud Haghighat, being shot and killed in a drive-by attack in the southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchestan. The incident occurred early Wednesday amid ongoing nationwide protests over economic distress and rising living costs. Another officer was reportedly killed in a stabbing near Tehran. The militant group Jaish al-Adl has claimed responsibility for the attack on Haghighat, citing a desire for greater rights for the Baluch minority. Authorities are seeking the perpetrators.
