ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – The Iranian Kurdish party Komala confirmed that three of its members were killed by Iranian forces Friday morning.
Their Peshmerga were “ambushed” by Iranian forces early Friday morning in Sanandaj, the capital of Iran’s Kurdistan province, “and three of our colleagues were killed,” the party said in a published statement.
The party identified the three killed as Sabah Hussein Panahi, Hamid Saif Panahi, and Behzad Nouri.
Komala also claimed they had killed and injured a number of Iranian forces in the incident.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards announced on Friday morning that they had killed three “terrorists” and arrested another in clashes in the northwestern province of Kurdistan.
Komala did not provide any details about the possible arrest of one of their members in their statement.
The Iranian operation is part of a larger security operation that mainly concerns Iran’s northwestern and southern provinces on the heels of a deadly attack by ISIS on the Iranian parliament earlier this month.
