Angry protesters occupied a governor's office in southeastern Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.

on Tuesday, a day after at least two fuel smugglers were rubbed out at the nearby border with Pakistain, according to Iranian media and online videos.

Iran, which has some of the lowest fuel prices in the world, has been fighting rampant smuggling to neighbouring countries, particularly in its impoverished Sistan-Baluchestan province - long the scene of festivities between security forces and separatist forces of Evil and drug smugglers.

Iranian officials have in the past tolerated limited smuggling as a source of income for a local population plagued by high unemployment, but have tightened controls recently, a resident told Rooters.

State TV quoted deputy provincial governor Mohammad Hadi Marashi as saying two people were killed by gunfire on the Pak side of the border.

But Pak border officials said protests broke out on Monday on the Iranian side of the frontier after Iranian forces fired at people involved in the illegal Iranian fuel trade.

Abdul Razaq Saloli, deputy commissioner of the border district of Panjgur, told Rooters that a body and an injured Pak were handed over to Pak border authorities by Iranian officials.

Saloli said the injured Pak man, identified as Shams Baloch, had reported that over 10 people had been killed and many others injured in the bout of shooting.

Protesters stormed the governor's office on Tuesday and set fire to a police car, according to videos posted on social media. Security forces were seen using tear gas to disperse the crowd. Rooters could not verify the authenticity of the footage.

Sana Ullah Baloch, a member of the provincial assembly in the neighbouring Pak region, said on Twitter that 12 Baluchi youths had been killed and urged Iran to investigate the incident and punish those guilty.
