The attack on Izeh market was an armed attack at a public market on November 16, 2022 during the Mahsa Amini protests in the city of Izeh, Khuzestan province, Iran.[1][2] Seven people died during this incident, including a child, Kian Pirfalak; and two teenagers, Artin Rahmani, and Sepehr Maghsoodi (the latter was killed by a bullet in his head).[3][2][4][5][6] Many of the people killed were of the Bakhtiari tribe, and were not known to be attached to a political position.[1]
The Iranian government declared this incident a terrorist act and claimed that it was carried out by ISIS, a militant Islamist group,[7] but it was later denied.[6]
