#BREAKING
One person is killed and two wounded when a shooter opened fire at a guard post outside Azerbaijan’s embassy in Tehran, #Iran, Azerbaijan’s foreign ministry says.
#UPDATE
—Attack at 8:30 am local time
—A member of the Azerbaijan Embassy's security detail killed
—One shooter reportedly arrested

Note—This could be a false flag operation by the regime to divert attention away from today's anticipated protests in Sistan & Baluchestan Province Image
#UPDATE
More footage from the scene

My take:
Looks very much like the false flag "terrorist attack" in Shiraz, south-central #Iran, on October 26, 2022.

Tehran, #Iran
More security camera footage from today's attack targeting the Azerbaijan Embassy

At 0:05, does the attacker wave his hand to the security guard? As if to greet him?
Why is the security guard so calm?
🤨🤔🧐 Image
There are reports that members of #Iran's embassy in Baku, Azerbaijan, are leaving the country in a fashion that is raising suspicions among locals and attracting the media's attention.
#Iran's state TV interviewed the "attacker" who claims his motive was to "bring out my wife" from inside the Azerbaijan Embassy.🤨

His daughter says their father took her & her brother along in the car for the attack.🤔

And where's the mother?
In Azerbaijan, the daughter says🧐
Report:
Yasin Hosseinzadeh, the man who attacked the Azerbaijan Embassy in Tehran, #Iran, is a member of the extremist "Hosseinioun" militia group linked to the #IRGCterrorists.

This group recently issued a statement against Baku on Azerbaijan's ties with Israel.

Drone attack in Isfahan, central #Iran

Four explosions targeting a facility developing advanced weapons

Israel is silent, "but most Western intelligence & Iranian sources have credit the Mossad with similarly successful attacks"

jpost.com/middle-east/ir…

Video of the "second blast" in Isfahan, #Iran

Israel has conducted such attacks Iran
—Natanz nuclear facility, July 2020
—Natanz nuclear facility, April 2021
—nuclear facility at Karaj, June 2021
—destroying around 120 or more Iranian drones in Feb 2022
Iran's response matches those after similar incidents
Tehran is known to initially pretend that the attacks failed & only acknowledged the extent of the damage when satellite photos or other evidence broke into the public sphere, outflanking their denials.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) is #Iran’s terrorist arm and main engine in supporting global terrorism.
