The report comes as Washington weighs support for Kurdish groups and Trump speaks with Kurdish leaders about the war with Iran.

An official from the Coalition of Political Forces of Iranian Kurdistan (CPFIK) says Kurdish armed groups based in Iraq have already begun a military offensive against Iranian regime forces.

According to the official, Kurdish fighters affiliated with the Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK) began taking combat positions inside Iranian territory on Monday, March 2.

The CPFIK official said several Kurdish political and armed factions are prepared to cooperate with the U.S. and Israel.

“Most of the armed Eastern Kurdistan [Western Iran] parties are ready to work in unity and openly with the State of Israel and the USA,” he said.

    I expect the US to declare peace in the coming hours only to leave the Kurds stuck in a fight by themselves.

      Wouldn’t be the first time Americans have fucked Kurds over.
      I can’t help but wonder what the Kurds have been promised this time, besides the obvious (autonomy, statehood, etc)

      Also, I imagine this won’t sit well with a lot of the westerners who have expressed pro-Kurdish views in the past

      “The Kurds and the Jews are natural allies in the Middle East,” he said, adding that many Kurds view Israel’s establishment as proof that independence is achievable for stateless nations.
