Tehran: Two Iranian Revolutionary Guards were killed in fighting with rebels in a north western region, official media said on Sunday.
IRNA said one of those killed in Saturday's incident was a colonel of the Revolutionary Guards, an elite force that is separate from Iran's regular armed forces.
The Guards had inflicted "heavy blows" on rebels in recent days and killed several of them, it said.
Iranian forces often clash with guerrillas from the Party of Free Life of Kurdistan, which Iran sees as a "terrorist" group.
