All three men were hanged in a Zahedan prison.

The Iranian judiciary called the three “terrorists” but did not mention Jundallah, the Sunni rebel group that claimed responsibility for both attacks in the predominantly Shi’a Muslim country.

News of the hangings came two days after a suicide bomber killed two pro-government Basiji militiamen and wounded five others outside a mosque in Chabahar.
