The members of the Security Council have condemned Friday's assault on a police station in southern Iran, in which 11 Iranian police officers were killed, and eight critically wounded.

The attack on the Rasak police station in the southeastern Sistan and Baluchistan province, which is prone to unrest, was claimed by 'Jaish al-Adl,' a Sunni islamist organization active in the region. This was the latest in a string of similar incidents reported in the province, including a deadly armed attack on police officers in July, and the killing of Iranian border guards in Saravan, in May.
