Hundreds of thousands of Kurds - alongside tens of thousands of Mujahideen resistance fighters - are reportedly awaiting the signal to enter Iran from the north and west.
Since the beginning of the war, the IDF and the U.S. military have been shaping the battlefield in preparation for that moment.
When it happens, the decisive phase will begin:
Either -
The Iranian army and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps surrender - bringing the conflict to a rapid conclusion within days.
Or -
A ground campaign unfolds, backed by close Israeli and American air support - a scenario that could take time.
With all due respect to air power - and the respect is well deserved - wars are not won from the air alone.

We keep stiffing the kurds and they keep coming back to us...
