US and Kurds discuss potential Iran military operation: sources

AI Summary

short article 1 min

Sources report that Iranian Kurdish militias have consulted with the United States regarding a potential military operation targeting Iranian security forces in western Iran. The Kurdish groups, based on the Iran-Iraq border, have been training for such an attack, aiming to weaken Iran's military. This action is considered in light of recent US and Israeli attacks on Iranian targets. The goal is to create an opportunity for Iranians opposed to the current regime to revolt, following the reported deaths of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other top officials. A final decision on the operation and its timing is still pending.
