A military convoy was targeted today in a powerful explosion in the Mohammadabad area of Iranshahr, located in Iran’s southeastern Sistan and Baluchestan province. The incident marks a significant security development in the region and underscores ongoing instability in parts of the province.
According to preliminary information, the explosion struck as the convoy was transiting through Mohammadabad. The scale and intensity of the blast indicate the use of a substantial explosive device. Details regarding casualties, damage to military assets, and the precise method of detonation have not yet been officially confirmed.
Shortly after the incident, the anti-Iran militant alliance known as Jabh-e Mobarizin-e Mardomi (JMM) claimed responsibility for the attack. In statements attributed to the group, it characterized the operation as a targeted action against Iranian military forces. Independent verification of the group’s claims and further operational details remain pending.
Sistan and Baluchestan province has experienced intermittent security challenges over the years, including attacks targeting security forces and infrastructure. The province’s strategic location along Iran’s southeastern border has contributed to its complex security environment, with various militant organizations operating in or near the region.
Authorities are expected to launch a comprehensive investigation into the explosion to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the attack, identify those responsible, and assess any broader security implications. Security forces have reportedly increased their presence in and around Iranshahr following the incident, and measures may be implemented to enhance protection of military and civilian assets.
At this time, officials have not released confirmed casualty figures or detailed assessments of material damage. Updates are anticipated as more verified information becomes available.
This incident is likely to prompt heightened security measures across the province and may influence broader national security considerations. Observers will be closely monitoring developments in the coming days as authorities respond to the situation.
