PUBLISHED Oct 1, 2026, 9:22 AM ET

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps carried out a security operation in southeastern Iran resulting in the deaths of six suspected terrorists. State media reports indicate the clash occurred in Sistan-Baluchistan province near the borders of Pakistan and Afghanistan. The region has experienced prolonged friction involving armed militant factions, separatist elements, and drug smuggling rings. Security forces recovered explosive packages intended for planned attacks during the raid. The operation underscores ongoing efforts by Iranian authorities to secure restive border zones against militant infiltration. State agencies emphasized the pre-emption of violent plots targeting regional security installations. Local monitors note that armed confrontations between security units and regional cells remain a frequent occurrence. Authorities continue clearance operations across the impoverished province to dismantle remaining insurgent networks. Further investigations into the affiliations of the targeted individuals are currently underway by state intelligence officials.
