“Too often, the Kurds are remembered only when their strength or sacrifice is needed,” said Iraqi First Lady Shanaz Ibrahim Ahmed.
Iraqi First Lady Shanaz Ibrahim Ahmed on Thursday issued a statement titled “Leave the Kurds alone. We are not guns for hire” in which she cited past examples of Kurds being “abandoned when priorities changed” in Iraq and Rojava (northeast Syria).
“It is very difficult, indeed impossible, for Kurds to accept being treated as pawns by the world’s superpowers,” she said, coming amid contested reports of US-Israeli ambitions to arm Kurdish opposition fighters against the Iranian government.
Multiple sources told The New Region that neither Iranian Kurdish opposition groups nor people from the Kurdistan Region have launched a ground offensive into Iran, despite widespread media reports suggesting such an operation had begun from the western border. However, Kurdish opposition groups quickly denied the claims. Sources from the Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK), the Komala party, and the Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK) all said no military operations had been carried out by Kurdish forces against Iran.
Former CIA agent John Kiriakou says there is a 100% CHANCE that the Kurds INVADE IRAN
This will be a HUGE issue for the Islamic regime! ?
“I would say the chances are 100%. The Kurds have long worked with the United States.
“I think the goal would be to capture areas that historically have been Iranian Kurdistan, and to draw the Revolutionary Guard out so that they would be that much easier to STRIKE.

Makes sense — it’s boots on the ground by proxy. Still wondering what the 50,000 ground troops that Centcom talked about are doing. There has been no mention of anything other than air strikes……
