Iranian forces kill 8 after deadly attack in southeast: state media
Militants killed 10 police officers in Taftan county
Tehran (AFP): Iran’s military has killed eight militants in an operation in the restive southeast since a deadly attack last month on a police station, state media reported on Tuesday.
On October 26, militants from the Jaish al-Adl group killed 10 police officers in Taftan county, Sistan-Baluchistan province — one of the deadliest attacks in the region in recent months.
“A total of eight terrorists have been killed” during operations in the province, Revolutionary Guards commander Ahmad Shafahi said, quoted by the official IRNA news agency.
“Fourteen other terrorists have been arrested,” including key figures involved in the Taftan attack, he said, adding security forces seized a large amount of weapons and ammunition.
Late on Monday, IRNA quoted Guards ground forces commander Mohammad Pakpour as saying the militants who carried out the October 26 attack “were not Iranian”, without specifying their nationalities.
Sistan-Baluchistan straddles the border with Afghanistan and Pakistan, and is one of the Islamic republic’s most impoverished provinces.
It has long been a flashpoint for cross-border attacks by separatists, and clashes between security forces and armed groups are common.
In early October, at least six people, including police officers, were killed in the province in two separate attacks.
Jaish al-Adl claimed responsibility for the attacks on Telegram.
Formed in 2012 by Baluch separatists, the group is considered a “terrorist organisation” by both Iran and the United States.

Tax fraud investigators search Netflix offices in Paris and Amsterdam, says source
A special financial crime prosecution unit notorious for pursuing high-stakes
Paris (Reuters): Investigators searched the offices of US streaming giant Netflix in France and the Netherlands as part of a preliminary investigation into tax fraud laundering, a French judicial source said on Tuesday.
The French investigation, carried out by the PNF, a special financial crime prosecution unit notorious for pursuing high-stakes white-collar probes that often involve large international companies, was opened in November 2022.
Representatives for Netflix in France and the Netherlands did not immediately respond to Reuters phone calls and e-mail requests for comment.
Investigators specialising in financial crime and corruption raided the company's offices in central Paris on Tuesday morning.
Dutch authorities were simultaneously searching the company's European headquarters in Amsterdam, the French judicial source said.
"Cooperation between the French and Dutch authorities has been underway for many months as part of these proceedings," the French source said. The office of the Dutch prosecutor for financial crime declined to comment and referred questions to the PNF.
A preliminary investigation in France does not imply criminal charges and does not necessarily lead to a trial.
The facts which led to the investigation were not immediately clear.
Large tech companies offering their online services and subscriptions across borders often run into difficulties with European tax authorities.
News website La Lettre reported last year Netflix's French subsidiary became the subject of scrutiny from tax authorities over its low reported turnover, which the media said was at odds with paying user numbers in the country.
Between 2019 and 2020, Netflix Services France paid less than one million euros in corporate taxes, by involving a separate unit registered in the Netherlands, La Lettre said, adding the company stopped the practice in 2021.
Corporate records reviewed by Reuters showed the revenue of Netflix's French unit surged to around 1.2 billion euros in 2021, from 47 million the year before.
Netflix in France did not respond to a request for comment on the alleged reporting of revenues through Amsterdam rather than France in 2019 and 2020.
The PNF declined to give details on the scope of its investigation.
In 2022, Netflix had agreed to settle a tax dispute with Italy by paying 55.8 million euros ($60.78 million).
Netflix said on its website it opened its Paris bureau, located just around the corner from the Opera Garnier, in 2020 when it employed around 40 staff.
The company produces most of its original films and series, including the global blockbuster Emily in Paris by working with third-party contractors.
