Unknown gunmen attacked a vehicle carrying engineers and contractors of the Chabahar-to-Mashhad water transfer project in Zahedan, Iran, on October 13th, 2025, before setting the vehicle ablaze, according to Iranian state media. The attack occurred in Iran's restive southeast during the reporting window of October 12th, 10:05:56 PM to October 13th, 1:05:56 AM UTC. The specific timing of the attack within this three-hour window was not provided. In unrelated developments, former Iranian Interior Minister Ali Akbar Nateq Nouri stated that the 1979 capture of the US embassy was a "big mistake," suggesting that many subsequent hardships originated from that event. Separately, approximately 60,000 children and teenagers, identified as members of Hezbollah's scouts, gathered in Beirut to commemorate Hassan Nasrallah under the banner "Generations of the Sayyed."
