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.
