Iran: Clashes between Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Party for Free Life in Kurdistan (PJAK) forces in Baluchistan and Kurdistan
Bloody clashes between Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and opposition forces rocked the tense areas of Kurdistan and Baluchistan on Monday.
In remarks to Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper, sources close to the opposition rejected all information provided by state media outlets on the ongoing clashes, adding that they would soon reveal the truth behind bloody developments in the Iranian cities of Sardasht in Kurdistan and Khash in Baluchistan.
In a statement on Monday, IRGC said that severe clashes broke out between its members and the “Party for Free Life in Kurdistan” (PJAK) in the northern border city of Sardasht.
IRGC announced on its website that its forces have killed five PJAK members in an ambush during recent clashes. They also warned area residents from providing assistance to “Kurdistan fighters” and pledged to retaliate to any threat against its forces in the region.
