Iraqi-based Kurdish opposition ready to act against Iran, but seeking international backing
Fighters from the Iraqi-based Kurdish opposition group PDKI say they are trained and ready to help topple Iran’s hardline regime, but will not move without international backing as Trump signals a pause on intervention. Leaders say external support could be decisive, but arming demonstrators could backfire and provide the regime a pretext to crack down. Iran’s crackdown on protests has been deadly, with calls for recognition of Kurdish and minority rights as conditions for any change.
