Gunmen Kill Sunni Cleric Molavi Yusef Gorgij in Southeastern Iran

Unidentified gunmen shot and killed senior Sunni cleric Molavi Yusef Gorgij in southeastern Iran; local officials described him as having 'actively fought against divisive elements and Zionism,' according to a Times of Israel live update.

Why this matters. The killing of a pro-government Sunni cleric in Iran's restive southeast points to persistent internal security threats for Tehran even as it wages a wider regional war.
