Uncontrolled firing by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) intelligence forces at a vehicle in Khash County, Sistan and Baluchestan Province, left three dead and two injured. Reports indicate that a five-year-old child is among the victims. The 'Halosh' website, which follows news related to Sistan and Baluchestan Province, reported on Tuesday, August 7, that IRGC intelligence agents fired repeatedly at a 'Peugeot 405 with five passengers' early Tuesday morning, resulting in a woman dying 'from multiple bullet wounds.' During this incident, 'a five-year-old girl' who was 'hit in the face' and a man who was also shot multiple times 'died in the hospital.' Additionally, 'an eight-year-old boy and a young man were severely injured.' The identities of two of these individuals are reported as having the last name 'Nasiri,' and one of them is identified as 'Mohammad Irandegani,' but it is unclear which one was killed and which one was injured. According to 'HRANA,' the media organization of human rights activists in Iran, at least '540 citizens were targeted by the military forces' of the Islamic Republic last year, and '129 citizens' lost their lives during these shootings. The report states that '29 Kolbers, 29 fuel carriers, and 71 other citizens' were killed due to the indiscriminate firing of the Islamic Republic's forces. Furthermore, '411 citizens' were injured during these indiscriminate shootings by the Islamic Republic's military forces, including '353 Kolbers, 33 ordinary citizens, and 25 fuel carriers.' Previously, the hasty shooting by agents at vehicles has repeatedly resulted in the deaths of several citizens, including children. The report also mentions that six citizens were killed in Sistan and Baluchestan due to the 'indiscriminate firing' of the Islamic Republic's military forces. In the previous year, a 21-year-old citizen, Negar Karimi, was killed by the direct shooting of a police officer from close range at a family vehicle in Aligudarz, Lorestan Province. In the same year, a citizen was killed and another injured due to the direct shooting of 'plainclothes' forces of the Islamic Republic in Borujerd County. Additionally, in the early days of winter 1401, a 12-year-old girl named Sahar Etebari was killed due to the shooting of agents at a vehicle on a road in Hormozgan Province. In the same year, a two-year-old child was killed due to the shooting of special forces at a family vehicle in Isfahan. The shooting of an Islamic Republic agent at a woman in Mazandaran for 'mandatory hijab' has also been reported, with reports stating that Arzu Badri is in a coma. Six citizens were killed in Sistan and Baluchestan due to the 'indiscriminate firing' of the Islamic Republic's military forces. Reactions to the execution of Reza Rasayi indicate that as long as the Islamic Republic remains, 'poverty, execution, and torture' will continue. A Baluch citizen was injured due to the 'indiscriminate shooting' of the Islamic Republic's border agents. News sources reported that a Kolber died from the cold and eight others were injured by the shooting of border forces.
