BEIRUT: Iran’s Revolutionary Guards engaged in heavy clashes with gunmen on the border with Iraq on Thursday evening, killing three of them and sustaining one fatality, the Guards said on Friday.

A statement on the Guards’ Sepah News website identified their opponents only as “terrorists”. 

Clashes with Iranian Kurdish militant groups based in Iraq are fairly common in the area.
