Recurring clashes in Iran's Sistan-Baluchestan and western border regions signal persistent instability
Al Jazeera AR·IR·3 days ago
Iran is confronting armed group activity on both its eastern (Balochistan) and northwestern (Kurdistan) borders, coinciding with heightened tensions with the US and Israel. The dual-front pressure suggests a coordinated or opportunistic escalation by regional actors, though the scale and direct external backing remain unclear. This strains Iran's military resources and could signal a broader regional confrontation.
