- Separately, security officer Mohsen Shahriyari was killed confronting a group in the same province, while the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency alleged without evidence that gunmen had links to Israel and the United States.
- Province police commander Sardar Mohammadreza Eshaqi condemned the killing, praising Aqila as 'a woman of faith, courage, and sacrifice' to the Basij community.
- Although Janfada spokesperson Sasan Zare claimed more than 500,000 women registered for National Resistance battalions in 100 minutes, the Iran Human Rights Monitor reports the regime is recruiting violent prisoners to fill ranks.
