The People's Fighters Front (, abbreviated as PFF or JMM), is a Baloch nationalist militant organization mainly operating in the Sistan and Balochistan province in southeastern Iran. It was founded in late 2025 as a merger of several Sunni Baloch militias, including Jaysh al-Adl, and has been participant in the Sistan and Balochistan insurgency. The PFF's masked spokesperson is Mahmud Baloch.
Before the official formation of the group, Iran's IRGC had launched multiple counterterrorism and counterinsurgency operations in 2024 and 2025 targeting the group's strongest subgroup, Jaysh al-Adl, inflicting losses on the group, which continued even after the PFF was formed.
On November 29 Jaish al Adl, announced that it had merged with other Baloch groups in order to better its fight against Iran.
On 10 December 2025, multiple militias such as Jaysh al-Adl, Nasr Movement, Pada Baloch Movement, Muhammad Rasul Allah Group and others announced the formation of a single united organization called the "People's Fighters Front" (PFF). The PFF announced that it seeks to restore and "protect the economic, political, cultural, and religious dignity" of Iranians and overthrow the "Velayat-e-Faqih regime", which refers to Iran.
The flag of the PFF is similar to flags of other Baloch nationalist groups, especially in Pakistan. According to their own statement, green represents hope, red represents resistance and white represents honesty and unity while the blue crescent is a symbol of Balochi culture.
On 13 December 2025, after the group's formation, senior Brigadier General Ali Jahanshahi, the Commander of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army's Ground Forces, appointed junior Brigadier General Abbas Malekizadeh as the new commander of the Ground Forces' Southeast Regional Headquarters in order to help counter the group after its formation.
PFF claimed its first attack targeting Iranian security forces near Zahedan, Sistan and Baluchistan Province, on December 10. Haalvsh, a rights group in Sistan & Baluchestan, said that the PFF claimed responsibility in a statement posted overnight. The group said it targeted a convoy of the IRGCâÂÂs Imam Hossein battalion, which are part of the Salman Brigade. PFF fighters had killed four IRGC Ground Forces personnel near the Quds Operational Base in the Lar district of Baluchestan. The troops killed were from the Imam Hossein Battalions, a highly trained unit in the Basij paramilitary organization. A spokesman for the PFF said the attack was meant as retaliation for the role of security forces in suppressing residents in Sistan-Baluchestan. He added that the vehicle carrying the unitâÂÂs commander was struck and also that four security personnel were killed and several others wounded. Iranian state media initially reported three dead and three wounded but later stated that the number of security forces killed had increased to four. The human rights group Haalvsh said that local sources reported gunfire occurring as multiple IRGC vehicles were heading toward their base in the Lar area.
The PFF originally announced its support for the nationwide protests in Iran, but that they would not participate within the protests.
On 7 January 2026, PFF militants killed Mahmoud Haqiqat, the police chief of Iranshahr.
On 11 January 2026, PFF fighters killed one Law Enforcement Command officer and injured another in an attack on an LEC patrol vehicle in Dashtiari County, Sistan and Balochistan province.
