Iran's official IRNA news agency reported that police have killed four militants linked to the terrorist Daesh [the Arabic acronym for ‘ISIS/ISIL'] group in the country's south.
The Monday report quoted police chief of Hormozgan province, Gen. Azizollah Maleki, as saying his forces killed the gunmen Sunday in a shootout near the town of Roudan, 1,200 kilometers southeast of Tehran.
Maleki said police confiscated a Daesh flag and four machine guns, bullets and some explosives.
He added that two of the four were foreigners. He did not elaborate.
Five Daesh-linked attackers stormed Iran's parliament and a shrine to revolutionary leader Imam Ruhollah Khomeini on Wednesday, setting off clashes with security forces and killing at least 17 people and injuring more than 50.
