    Kurds live there on both sides of the border - if Iranian Kurds get in trouble, it is only logical for Iraqi Kurds to hatch a plan to assist them.

    The only thing that was wrong was over-eagerness by Turkish intelligence services, who reported the plan to Iran, preventing the border crossing and turning it into a battle.

    I hope other border crossings succeeded.

    If people cannot cross, drones can be used to send goods - and drones can be used to carry more drones, FPV headsets and remotes.

    Weather balloons can be used - they might want to copy a page from the textbook of Belarusian cigarette smugglers. Balloons travel so high that shooting from small arms doesn’t work, and if Iran shoots a smuggling balloon with missiles, they’re wasting 100000 euros to bring down 1000 euros.
