Iranian sources report clashes between the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and a separatist group in the Bawa (Paveh) area of Kermanshah province, according to a single unverified report. No casualty figures or further details are available yet.
Iranian sources reported overnight clashes between IRGC forces and a separatist group in the Bawa (Paveh) area of Kermanshah province, western Iran. The report, from a single source, provides no details on the identity of the separatist group, the scale of the fighting, or casualties. The incident follows a thread of earlier clashes in the same province that The Zioneer reported at 01:01 Jerusalem — those clashes left two IRGC members dead after heavy exchanges with armed gunmen in Kermanshah. The current report does not specify whether this is a continuation of that earlier event or a fresh incident. The separatist group is believed by regional analysts to be a Kurdish militia, but that is not confirmed by the source. No verification from Iranian state media or IRGC statements has emerged. The area is a known flashpoint where cross-border movements from Iraqi Kurdistan occasionally trigger IRGC operations. Further details are awaited.
