The CIA is reportedly engaging with Kurdish groups in Iran to potentially incite an uprising against the existing Tehran regime. Under Donald Trump’s administration, communication channels have been established with minority factions in Iran, particularly Kurdish figures in neighboring Iraq, who may receive military aid. Iranian Kurds, stationed along the Iraq-Iran border, have indicated their readiness to initiate an operation aiming for increased autonomy or an independent state.
In response to these developments, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has initiated airstrikes targeting Kurdish positions to deter any hostile actions. President Trump has reportedly conversed with the head of the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan, signaling U.S. support for Kurdish endeavors. Iranian Kurdish forces are gearing up for an imminent ground assault in Western Iran, expressing optimism for successful outcomes and anticipating backing from the U.S. and Israel.
Furthermore, Trump has conferred with Iraqi Kurdish leaders regarding the ongoing military operations in Iran and potential collaboration with Kurdish factions. The strategy involves empowering Kurdish armed groups to engage Iranian security forces strategically, paving the way for civilian protests in major Iranian cities with reduced risks of violent reprisals witnessed in previous incidents.
While the U.S. aims to instigate an uprising in Iran, challenges remain as a significant portion of the Iranian populace lacks arms. The objective is to inspire a broader movement within Iran, yet uncertainties loom over the potential repercussions on Iran’s stability and the acceptance of an independent Kurdish state by regional players. Various Kurdish separatist factions have issued statements hinting at imminent actions and urging Iranian military personnel to defect in support of their cause.
