Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) said they lost one
soldier and killed a number of "anti-revolutionaries" in clashes
Friday near the western border with Iraq.
A Guards border patrol "encountered and fought with an
anti-revolutionary group in Sarvabad," in Kurdistan province, the
semi-official Fars news agency reported.
The report said an unspecified number of the
"anti-revolutionaries were killed and wounded and a considerable amount of
their weapons and ammunition was destroyed".
One of the Guards was "wounded and died en route to
hospital", the agency added.
It did not say whether or not the combatants were from
Kurdish opposition or militant groups.
