Baluchistan Deputies Resign

Three Majlis deputies representing Iran’s Baluchistan have resigned in protest to what they called Tehran’s inability or unwillingness to maintain security in their province. On Thursday, two suicide bombings in quick succession killed at least 27 people at Zahedan’s Grand Mosque. Zahedan is the capital of Baluchistan.

The three deputies who have resigned were Hossein Ali Shahriari, Abbas Ali Noura and Peyman Forouzesh.
