Iranian security forces have killed four members of an outlawed Kurdish group in the western province of Kordestan, the hardline Kayhan newspaper reported on Saturday.
The four members of Komala -- a banned leftist Kurdish group -- had "entered the country for terrorist operations but were killed before they could do anything," the report said.
It added that weapons and explosives had been seized from the group.
Western Iran, which has a sizeable Kurdish population, has seen deadly clashes in recent years between Iranian security forces and Kurdish rebel groups operating from bases in neighbouring Iraq.
In May, Iran hanged four Kurds, including a woman, after convicting them of membership in another outlawed Kurdish group, the Party of Free Life of Kurdistan (PJAK).
