The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran announced that its forces killed 'the leader of this group and three others' during an attack on a nine-member group of 'Jaish al-Adl' in the Saravan region of Sistan and Baluchestan province, injuring 'at least two others.' The Quds Ground Force of the IRGC reported on Sunday, September 21, that this attack occurred last week. According to Fars News Agency, 'a large amount of weapons, ammunition, radios, night vision cameras, and three Toyota vehicles equipped with advanced systems' were seized during this operation. The operational area of the Jaish al-Adl group is in Sistan and Baluchestan province, and previous reports have indicated clashes between this group's forces and the military of the Islamic Republic in this province. For instance, Mohammad Pakpour, commander of the IRGC Ground Forces, stated on Thursday, June 24, that two individuals related to an operational team of the 'Jaish al-Adl' group had been arrested, but one of them died due to the severity of injuries. Saeed Montazeralmahdi, spokesperson for the police, also mentioned on June 14 that in a clash between police forces and members of the Jaish al-Adl group, five members of this group and one police officer were killed. Mohammad Marani, commander of the Quds Base, stated on Tuesday, September 1, that he has 'accurate news' that Arab countries, especially Saudi Arabia, and also Western countries are 'attempting' to create 'insecurity' in Iran's eastern borders. Several senior officials of the Islamic Republic, including Ali Shamkhani, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, have accused Saudi Arabia of attempting to create insecurity in southeastern Iran and 'sending weapons' and supporting 'terrorist groups' in this region. Saudi Arabia has previously denied some of these claims while also making similar accusations against Tehran regarding attempts to create insecurity. Iran considers the Jaish al-Adl group a 'terrorist' organization. This group claims to be 'defending the rights of Sunnis' and has been involved in several armed attacks and clashes with Iranian security and police forces.
