“Sources confirm that Taliban forces have seized the Doust Mohammad and Bala Sia Cheshman checkpoints on the border with the Kong district of the Afghan province of Nimroz after fierce fighting between the Taliban and Iranian border guards,” Aamaj News reported.
At the same time, Tasnim notes that there really was a clash near the province of Nimroz "because of a misunderstanding of the border."
“In an interview with Tasnim, an informed official stressed that rumors of Taliban seizure of checkpoints on the Iranian border are fundamentally false.
Some photos were published in the first moments of the conflict, and now the border guards fully control the borders of the country, ”the Iranian agency said in a statement.
