Summary
Gagosh, south of Mahabad, became the latest flashpoint after PJAK said the IRGC launched an operation there and clashes were still continuing.
At least four Iranian security personnel were reported killed Tuesday in separate attacks in Paveh and Baneh, with additional casualties earlier reported in Marivan and Mahabad.
Rojhelat.Info said the fighting now spans West Azerbaijan, Kurdistan and Kermanshah provinces, marking a wider spread of armed confrontations across Iran's Kurdish west.
The clashes point to a sharper role for PJAK and its YRK armed wing after largely staying out of the conflict, even as Tehran has pressed to crush Kurdish Iranian opposition groups.
