The motive for the attack remains unclear although one report suggested he was upset that his wife had received her coronavirus vaccination from a male rather than female nurse. Another report referred to it as a personal dispute and suggested the governor and his attacker had served in the same military corps.

It was a rare breach of security for the Islamic Republic during a ceremony which the country's interior minister was attending.The new governor, Brig. Gen. Abedin Khorram, once served in the Islamic Revolutionary Guards and had reportedly been kidnapped by rebel forces in Syria.Shortly after he took the podium in Tabriz, the capital of Iran's Eastern Azerbaijan province, a man strode from offstage and swung at the official.

State television broadcast the crowd gasping in shock and the sound system amplifying the sound of the slap itself.
