Iranian media reported Tuesday on a wave of heavy fighting between Baloch separatist forces and troops loyal to the ayatollah regime across southeastern Iran, with unusually intense exchanges of fire recorded in three provinces.

According to the reports, Baloch opposition forces are conducting gun battles against Iranian regime forces across the provinces of Iranshahr, Sistan and Balochistan in the country's southeast. Local sources described the clashes as exceptionally heavy. Videos circulating on social media captured the sound of gunfire from the confrontations.
