Here is the latest "Kurd Update":

1. Iranian Preemptive Strikes

This morning, the Iranian Intelligence Ministry and the IRGC confirmed they launched joint strikes against "separatist terrorist groups" in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI).

• The Toll: At least one member of an exiled Iranian Kurdish group was killed and several others were wounded.

• Target Locations: Strikes specifically hit the headquarters of the Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK) near Dekala and Komala party sites in the Zargwez area of Sulaymaniyah.

• The Regime's Stance: Tehran claims these groups were preparing to infiltrate Iran "with the support of the American and Zionist enemy" to carry out urban attacks.

2. The U.S. "Kurdish Mobilization" Plan

Reports from The Guardian and CNN this morning indicate that the U.S. and Israel are accelerating plans to mobilize these groups:

• Air Support: A U.S. official confirmed that Washington is prepared to provide direct air support if Kurdish fighters cross the border to engage Iranian regime forces.

• High-Level Contact: President Trump reportedly held calls this week with Kurdish leaders Masoud Barzani and Bafel Talabani, as well as heads of Iranian Kurdish factions, to discuss "sensitive" operational coordination.

• The "LUCAS" Factor: Kurdish forces are reportedly being integrated into the broader drone strategy, helping to identify ground targets for the $35,000 "LUCAS" drones now flooding the western Iranian border.

The thing I wonder about (and haven’t seen much) is whether there are other anti-regime forces ready to spring into action? Are they armed and active? Are they out on the streets, offing Basij members?

The Kurds rising up is a good thing. I’m just wondering if and when the general populace will start getting involved?

[AppyPappy]

Kurds rising up will stir up Turkey.

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Yes, but Iran saw fit to send a missle into Turkey so that might balance things out a bit!

They also sent one into Oman and had to apologize.

“They also sent one into Oman and had to apologize.”

from everything i’ve read, iran has simply denied that they had anything to do with the many attacks on oman ...

The Kurds no doubt see this situation as an opportunity to establish defacto political and military control over an area of Iran that they consider part of “Kurdistan”. Since this action will weaken the Iranian regime, both the Americans and Israelis will offer logistical and air support.

However Kurdish action will not be enough to overthrow the regime. There is a web of thousands with its nexus in Tehran that still controls the Iranian economy, food supplies, the military and the goons. They are very defiant because they know what will happen to them if the regime is destroyed. Also they are benefiting from some degree of patriotism within the Iranian population even amomg people who hate the regime. At their core Iranians must resent and even hate that their fate is being dictated by foreigners. Israelis, Americans. Kurds and Arabs). The bottom line is that if this regime is to be destroyed and the enriched uranium secured, it will take American boots on the ground and hard bloody fighting.

.......some degree of patriotism within the Iranian population......

You've got it backwards. Estimates have it that 95% of the Iranian populace are anti-theocracy, anti-government. They are patriots of Iran, and most would welcome "regime change"

There were reports, beginning yesterday, that the U.S. had begun efforts to arm the organized resistance groups within Iran.

[Texas Fossil]

Correct.

Remember, more than 400,000 Kurdish Jews have over time been retrieved by Israel, rescued from great danger in other ME countries.

They are an important part of the Israeli government.
