AI Summary

long article 4 min

Kurdish opposition groups along Iran's western border are poised to strike against the Islamic Republic if an opportunity arises, citing decades of conflict. A Kurdish leader from the Komala party stated that they are awaiting the right moment, but are currently vulnerable to Iranian missile and drone attacks. These comments come as these groups attempt to unify against Iran, forming a coalition in February. Former President Trump has signaled support for a Kurdish offensive against Iran, but declined to comment on potential U.S. air support. Despite the coalition, Iranian forces continue to target Kurdish opposition bases in Iraq's Kurdistan region.
