At least five people were killed in Iran’s southwestern province of Khuzestan on Wednesday (Nov 16) gin what state media described as a terrorist attack.
Iran’s state TV said 15 others were wounded in the attack at the market in the city of Izeh. The semi-official ISNA news agency said two gunmen in a car opened fire on people.
Iran’s ethnic Arab minority, who mostly live in Khuzestan, have joined weeks of protests triggered by the death in custody of young Iranian woman Mahsa Amini on Sep 16.
ISNA said two members of Iran’s volunteer Basij militia were among those killed.
