Baloch in southeastern Iran voice support for armed forces in new video

Iran’s Tasnim news agency has published a video that it says shows Baloch residents of the southeastern Iranian province of Sistan and Baluchestan expressing support for the country’s armed forces amid the conflict with the United States and Israel.

According to Tasnim, the footage features Baloch individuals from the province voicing their backing for Iran’s military. In one of the slogans heard in the video, participants declare: “We stand until the end.”

Sistan and Baluchestan, located in southeastern Iran and predominantly populated by Sunni Baloch, has long been considered one of the country’s main centres of protest activity. The province frequently sees anti-government demonstrations and clashes between protesters and law enforcement forces.
