2023-04-27
[NPASYRIA] Member of the Assembly of Experts for Leadership of Iran, Ayatollah Abbas-Ali Soleimani, was assassinated on Wednesday morning in Iran’s northern city of Babolsar.

"Ayatollah Abbas Ali Soleimani, a former Friday prayer leader of Zahedan, was killed this morning in an armed attack... the assailant was also arrested and is now being investigated," IRNA news agency reported, citing Rouhollah Selgi, the deputy governor of the province for security affairs for the northern province of Mazandaran.

Selgi added that the motive of the gunman is not clear yet, adding that the public will be informed as soon as the issue is clarified.

It is worth mentioning that Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
always claims and accuses Israel of carrying attacks on its territory including destroying nuclear plants and assassinating senior personnel.
Dawn adds:
The attack took place in a bank in the city of Babolsar, the official said.

"The motive of the assailant is not yet clear and will be announced after it is clarified," the official added.

The governor of Mazandaran province Mahmoud Hosseinipour said the attacker was a local security personnel of the bank.

"So far, our information and documents indicate that this was not a security or terrorist act," Hosseinipour told state television
... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?

#1  I didn't realize that the over supply of 'experts' was so universal. Worse than kudsu and less useful.
