Comment on date of first stated goal of incompatibility: In an interview on 25 October 2014 Jaish al-Adl leader Salahuddin Farooqi declared that Jaish al-Adl fought for the "establishment of a federal system in Iran that meets the demands of Baloch people and Sunnis and all peoples and ethnic and religious minorities in Iran." He declared their intention to continue fighting to protect Sunnis and the Baluchi people as there was injustice and discrimination against them in Iran.
Even though the movement is clearly Baluchi and Sunni in character, Farooqi claimed to fight for justice for all ethnic and religious minorities in Iran.
