The Trump administration has been in active discussions with Iranian opposition groups and Kurdish leaders in Iraq about providing them with military support, the sources said.
Iranian Kurdish armed groups have thousands of forces operating along the Iraq-Iran border, primarily in Iraq’s Kurdistan region. Several of the groups have released public statements since the beginning of the war hinting at imminent action and urging Iranian military forces to defect. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has been striking Kurdish groups and said on Tuesday that it targeted Kurdish forces with dozens of drones.
Just so we can then abandon and turn our backs on them again.
Name one time that’s backfired.
/s for the specials
Ok, but can we give the Kurds the lasting support and right to immigrate easily we keep promising them? They’ve been some of our greatest allies, especially in the region (actual allies unlike Israel), and we keep leaving them out to dry.
Oh look, we like the Kurds again this week
Isn’t this a remake of an 80’s movie starring Osama bin Laden?
John Ratcliffe is going to intentionally fuck this up and get as many Americans killed as he can trying to create a justification.
Oh. So that’s going to be the reason for war?
after the success of contras in nicaragua/colombia, mujahideen in afghanistan, and many other places that don’t come to mind right away, we bring you… kurds in iran! i mean trump will definetely not be around to see the long term effects, and maybe hegseth is also dead by the time it peters out, so all fine, right?
Kurds in Syria
Oh yes them too!
Kurds are always happy to be used as pawns by the US
I think they sure were happy not to get slaughtered by ISIS
As I Kurds , I agree. Education is too important.
Isn’t this exactly what we did that caused 9/11?
“History does not repeat, but it sure does rhyme” and wow, are Americans poets or what? Malicious, brain dead poets, but still…
Well… no
Some people learn from past actions to make better decisions, but this current administration is against learning.
CIA has certainly never regretted arming insurgent groups, before…
And the Kurds have never regretted allying themselves with the U.S. before https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgrzd76p4lo
Surely America won’t hang them out to dry a fifth(?) time? ;p
Kurds using new weapons to stage terrorist attacks in Turkey in 3… 2…
sun rises in the east US betrays the Kurds
I don’t trust a single word out of the lying imperialists’ mouth, and from what I’m hearing, Kurdish leaders about had it as well
Hey if he is willing to give em weapons, supplies and gear then they should take it all and then sit on their hands.
That would be the funniest shit
Fool me once, shame on… shame on you. Fool me—you can’t get fooled again…
Didnt trump betray the kurds like not that long ago?
It’s on the GOP President’s Must-Do list going back to Bush Sr:
- Cause a financial crisis
- Start a war in the Middle East
- Inflame racial tensions
- Betray the Kurds
“BuT tEh DeMoCrAtS lEfT uS sUcH a MeSs To cLeAn Up”
(Always referring to whatever fresh hell they were up to the last time they were in the seat)
cause a war- to distract from internal political turmoil: epstein files, BBB tax raises, cuts to social programs. its to distract the r voting plebs. icing on top, legislate anti-transphobic laws.
Yes. And they will remember that. This is every single time we have interfered with Iran’s government all happening again all at once. Expect similar results.
Where have I see this movie before?
