Among the dead were four members of Iran’s elite revolutionary guard members, Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency reported Saturday.
The dead guard members were identified as Hamidreza Hashemi, a Revolutionary Guard colonel; Mohammad Amin Azarshokr, a Guard member; Saeed Borhan Rigi, a Basiji, or volunteer force with the IRG; and Mohamad Amin Arefi, also a Basiji.
The head of the Guard’s intelligence department, Seyyed Ali Mousavi, was shot and killed during the attack, theIt’s unclear whether the attack was related to the Amini protests. The 22-year-old Iranian woman died while in police custody after she was arrested by the country’s “morality police” for not wearing a veil in public. Advocates as well as her family contend she died after being tortured.
