Iran neutralizes Jaish al-Adl border infiltrators

Iranian security forces neutralized several heavily armed militants from the Pakistan-backed Jaish al-Adl group after they infiltrated from Pakistan into the Rask border area of Sistan-Baluchistan on April 22, 2026. State media reports the group was heavily armed and that weapons and gear were seized following the clash. The report also claims that "America activated Plan-B" in response to the incident, though no independent confirmation of this or the operation's details is available.
