US President Donald Trump has said he supports the launch of an offensive by Kurdish forces against the Iranian regime. He called the move a "wonderful move." Trump stressed that if Kurdish forces choose to move forward with an attack, their objective will be to win.
“I think it’s great that they want to do that. I would totally agree ,” Trump said.
When asked whether the United States would provide air cover for such an operation, Trump declined to confirm.
" I can't tell you that ," Trump added.
The comments come as Iranian Kurdish militias have held discussions with the United States in recent days about whether and how to attack Iranian security forces in western Iran. The groups are based along the Iran-Iraq border in the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region of Iraq.
Axios reported yesterday that US President Donald Trump held phone calls with Kurdish leaders in Iraq to discuss developments in the war between Israel and Iran and possible next steps. The Wall Street Journal also reported that the US administration is open to supporting armed groups inside Iran that are willing to challenge the government in Tehran.
Kurdish armed groups operating along the border between Iraq and Iran appear to have launched military moves against Iranian forces, at a time when the conflict in the Middle East is escalating.
An official from the Coalition of Political Forces of Iranian Kurdistan (CPFIK) told Israeli media outlet i24NEWS that fighters affiliated with the Party for a Free Life in Kurdistan (PJAK) have begun deploying to combat positions inside Iranian territory since March 2.
According to the same source, thousands of Kurdish fighters have been deployed in the mountainous areas of western Iran, particularly in the Zagros Mountains region, while Iranian forces are said to have evacuated the border town of Mariwan and set up defensive positions around it.
PJAK operates with two armed structures: the Eastern Kurdistan Protection Units (YRK) and the Women's Protection Forces (HPJ), which, according to Kurdish sources, are organized according to the model of Kurdish formations in Syria.
According to Kurdish sources, several political and armed organizations are willing to cooperate with the United States and Israel. Among them are the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran (KDPI), factions of the Komala organization, and the Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK).
Developments suggest that the Kurdish front could become a new element in the broader clash between Iran and its adversaries in the region.
