Seven people were shot dead in an armed attack during protests in two separate attacks in southern Iran - in the city of Ize, Khuzestan province in the south-west of Iran, SIA refers to foreign media.
Habib Heyber, vice-rector of Ahwaz Jundishapur University of Health Sciences, who gave an interview to Iranian state television, announced that the number of dead as a result of firing on the people and security forces last night has increased to 7.
Three suspects were arrested and the hunt was on for others after Wednesday's first attack on protesters and security forces in Izeh, said a senior judicial official in Khuzestan province on Thursday.
In a separate attack four hours later in Iran's third largest city Isfahan, two assailants on a motorcycle fired automatic weapons at Basij paramilitary force members, killing two and wounding two others, Fars news agency reported.
