‘Jaish al-Adl’ terrorist group as a proxy of CIA and Mossad to destabilize Iran

Iran’s judiciary chief, Gholamhossein Mohseni Eje’,i on Monday condemned the terrorist attack at a courthouse in southeastern Iran by the “Jaish al-Adl” terrorist group, asserting that such acts of violence are “undoubtedly orchestrated by the United States.”

“The criminal US is the root cause of these terrorist crimes, just as it sponsors Zionist atrocities in Gaza and global instability,” Eje’i said while offering condolences to the families of six victims. 

The latest terrorist attack in Zahedan, the capital of Sistan and Baluchestan province, resulted in significant casualties, with at least 6 fatalities and 22 individuals wounded.

Iranian security forces swiftly responded to the attack that took place on Saturday afternoon, neutralizing three heavily-armed terrorists affiliated with the “Jaish al-Adl” terrorist group.

Sistan and Baluchestan province—a frequent target of terrorism—borders Pakistan and has faced repeated assaults on civilians and security personnel.

The latest act of terrorism came weeks after the Israeli-American aggression against the Islamic Republic, which failed in its objectives, as the Iranian nation stood up bravely and unitedly. 

Experts believe Saturday’s terrorist attack is the continuation of the same aggression through a terrorist group that serves as the proxy of Washington and Tel Aviv.

Origins and leadership of Jaish al-Adl

The so-called “Jaish al-Adl” emerged in 2012 from the remnants of Jundallah, a Pakistan-based terrorist group that was dismantled by Iranian security forces following the arrest and execution of its notorious leader, Abdolmalek Rigi, in June 2010.

Rigi, the architect of numerous deadly terrorist attacks in Iran, was captured in February 2010 during a flight from Dubai to Kyrgyzstan and later executed at Evin Prison.

Iranian judicial authorities stated he was responsible for the killings of at least 154 security personnel and civilians since 2003, and maintained ties with foreign intelligence services.

The terrorist group rebranded to distance itself from Jundallah while continuing its insurgency. Its ideology blends Baloch nationalism with Salafist Takfirism.

“Jaish al-Adl” claims to seek “independence” for Sistan and Baluchestan province, though its actual operations primarily target civilians and police stations to create chaos and instability.

The terrorist group uses ambushes, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and cross-border raids, exploiting the rugged terrain. It is classified as a terrorist organization by Iran, the US, China, Pakistan, Japan, New Zealand, and Russia.

The group’s violent ethos is symbolized by its green insignia featuring an assault rifle. While much of “Jaish al-Adl”‘s leadership remains shadowy, two key figures have been identified.

The first one is Salahuddin Farooqui, the group’s operational leader with strong tribal ties to Baloch militants in Pakistan’s Balochistan province. He has publicly advocated for Iran’s fragmentation and supported Israeli-American military involvement in Syria and other regional states.

The second is Mullah Omar Darakhshan, Farooqui’s deputy and brother of the late Mullah Mauluk Darakhshan, founder of the anti-Shia Sipah-e-Rasool Allah militia in the 1990s that collaborated with Pakistan-based extremist groups.

Farooqui led the group until he died in a joint Pakistani-Iranian operation on November 5, 2024. The current leadership remains unclear, with the second- and third-in-command also killed in that raid.

Jaish al-Adl’s campaign of terror in Iran

The Pakistan-based Jaish al-Adl terrorist group has conducted numerous attacks in Iran’s Sistan and Baluchestan province, consistently claiming responsibility through its social media channels.

The group’s violent campaign includes:

  • August 2012: 10 IRGC members killed
  • October 2013: 14 border guards martyred in Saravan
  • November 2013: Prosecutor assassinated in Zabol + 14 border police killed
  • February 2014: 5 policemen abducted
  • April 2015: 8 border guards killed in cross-border attack
  • April 2017: 9 border guards ambushed
  • October 2018: 12 security personnel kidnapped (9 later released)
  • December 2019: Chabahar suicide bombing (2 police killed, 40 injured)
  • February 2019: Bus bombing killing 27 IRGC officers
  • October 2023: 10 Iranian law enforcement officers killed in Taftan County
  • December 2023: Police station attack martyring 11 officers
  • September 2024: Ambush in Mirjaveh, killing three Iranian Border Guard soldiers
  • November 2024: Explosive device attack injuring four officers in Qasre Qand

Iran has repeatedly urged Pakistan to crack down on the terrorist group operating from its territory, particularly after a series of cross-border attacks and abductions.

The February 2019 bus bombing, one of the deadliest attacks, prompted especially strong condemnation from Iranian authorities.

A tool of Western intelligence agencies

Iranian intelligence sources confirm that the “Jaish al-Adl” terrorist group receives substantial financial and military support from the Israeli regime, the US, and other Western nations to carry out acts of aggression on Iranian soil in order to foment instability and insecurity. 

Ironically, while being backed by these states, “Jaish al-Adl” remains designated as a terrorist organization by the US and some of its allies, like Japan and New Zealand.

Its relationship with foreign actors reveals a clear alignment with Western and Zionist interests. The group’s stated goals include overthrowing Iran’s government and disrupting regional stability.

The group consistently supports Zionist agendas, including Sudan’s breakup, while avoiding criticism of the regime or the US. Its funding comes from CIA and Mossad support, as well as drug trafficking.

Major powers, particularly the US, instrumentally support such extremist groups while maintaining double standards, according to knowledgeable sources. Takfiri websites hosted on American servers promote violence against Muslims, but are shut down if they target Westerners.

“This reflects a colonial strategy of indirect intervention—fueling Muslim conflicts while avoiding direct involvement. Western condemnation of terrorism never extends to banning Takfiri media outlets that incite violence,” said a source who has researched the phenomenon of Takfirism.

“Jaish al-Adl” represents a Salafi-Wahhabi extremist faction, actively supporting Syrian terrorists. For the US, such groups serve multiple purposes: maintaining their influence, promoting Islamophobia through media, distracting from domestic issues, and exploiting militant capabilities.

These terrorists conveniently advance American-Zionist interests across multiple fronts—from Kyrgyzstan to Syria—through violence, massacres, and creating instability under the guise of jihad.

The group’s future, according to security analysts, depends on continued external support and the strategic value extremists provide to Western powers seeking regional disruption.

Their activities perfectly align with objectives to weaken Iran and maintain control through manufactured conflicts between Muslim sects.

In 2008, former Pakistani Army Chief Mirza Aslam Baig exposed the US support for Jundullah (Jaish al-Adl’s predecessor), including military training for insurgents, financial backing to destabilize Iran, and deliberate attempts to strain Iran-Pakistan relations.

The group maintains well-documented ties with Daesh (ISIS) and Al-Qaeda, sharing characteristics such as Takfiri extremist ideology, anti-Iranian orientation and common operational methods.

During a November 2023 interview, Jaish al-Adl spokesman Hossein Baloch conspicuously avoided condemning Daesh’s October 2023 attack on Shiraz’s Shah Cheragh shrine, stating: “We do not want to answer this question at this time.”

This evasive response strongly suggests ongoing collaboration with Daesh, potential complicity in the shrine attack and shared strategic objectives against Iran.

Connection with Zionist intelligence agencies

Iranian security sources report that the terrorist group Jaish al-Adl had been preparing for weeks to launch a coordinated attack on Chabahar Port in southeastern Iran.

Having learned of the regime’s planned strike in June 2025 through contacts with Mossad, the militants aimed to exploit the diversion of Iranian military forces during the Israeli aggression to target the strategic port city.

Their objectives included seizing police and military checkpoints to create a major security crisis, aligning perfectly with Israel’s broader goal of destabilizing the Islamic Republic.

However, Pakistan’s intelligence service intervened days before the planned operation, alerting Iranian authorities to both the impending Israeli attack and “Jaish al-Adl”‘s Chabahar plot.

In a swift response, Iranian forces conducted preemptive strikes using missiles and drones against the group’s border positions between Iran and Pakistan, successfully thwarting the planned attack.

The recent escalation in the group’s activities appears directly connected to this failed operation.

Following the 12-day aggression against Iran, the group carried out two attacks: an assault on a police vehicle in Chabahar that killed three officers, and Saturday’s attack in Zahedan, resulting in six deaths.

On Sunday, a commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Basij force was killed in a terrorist attack in the provincial capital, the IRGC said in a statement.

Sources indicate that Zionist and American fingerprints are evident in all of these heinous attacks.
