Kanal13Kurdish forces from Iraq have launched a ground offensive against Iran targeting the Iranian regime. Israeli officials have confirmed to Channel 12 that clashes on the ground are already being recorded in northwest Iran between Kurdish and Iranian military units.
According to sources, Kurdish fighters associated with the Kurdistan Free Life Party began taking up combat positions inside Iran on March 2. The interlocutor noted that Iranian troops evacuated the border town of Marivan on March 3 and began establishing defensive positions in and around the area. US official told FoxNews that thousands of Iraqi Kurds have launched a ground offensive in Iran. The comments come amid several media reports suggesting that Washington may be considering Kurdish groups as potential partners in efforts to pressure the Iranian regime.
According to CNN, the CIA is exploring plans to arm Kurdish forces with the aim of fomenting a popular uprising inside Iran. Meanwhile, Axios reported that U.S. President Donald Trump spoke with Kurdish leaders in Iraq to discuss the ongoing conflict involving Israel and Iran and possible next steps. The Wall Street Journal has also reported that the Trump administration is open to supporting armed groups inside Iran willing to challenge the government.
Coalition of Political Forces of Iranian Kurdistan official said several Kurdish political and armed factions are prepared to cooperate with the U.S. and Israel. “Most of the armed Eastern Kurdistan parties are ready to work in unity and openly with the State of Israel and the USA,” he said. In addition to PJAK, he named several groups active in Iranian Kurdistan: the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran, Komala factions, and the Freedom Party of Kurdistan.
While PJAK has several thousand fighters, the official said the other groups together have only a few hundred militants, many of whom fought against ISIS in Iraq and Syria. “Right now, there are a few thousand trained armed forces in Eastern Kurdistan who are ready to be armed by the State of Israel and the USA,” he said.
The CPFIK official framed Kurdish cooperation with Israel and the United States as part of a broader geopolitical vision. He argued that Iran is a “multinational country” composed of many ethnic groups — including Kurds, Baluch, Azeris, Turkmen, and Arabs — and suggested that weakening Tehran could allow these communities greater autonomy or independence. He also said a future Kurdish state could serve as a strategic corridor linking the Persian Gulf to Israel. “Kurds are a powerful force to defeat the enemies of Israel,” he said, arguing that Kurds and Jews share common adversaries in the region. “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.
