Kurdish Forces Seek U.S. Air Cover for Iran Invasion Plan
Exiled Iranian Kurdish groups, including PAK and KPIK, say they’re ready to invade Iran from bases in Iraqi Kurdistan if Washington provides air cover, while the White House says ground operations aren’t on the plan amid the US-Israel campaign. Trump has given mixed signals about backing Kurdish fighters, and experts say arming and coordinating such a mission would require time and likely U.S. advisers. The broader context includes Kurdish history of shifting alliances, regional distrust, and Iran’s resistance to intervention, with the U.S. strengthening its Middle East presence as tensions with Tehran continue.
