As the US and Israel have been conducting airstrikes against targets in Iran since February 28 under the operations named Epic Fury and Roaring Lion, discussions have emerged regarding the potential involvement of Kurdish forces. Former US President Donald Trump has hinted at various military options but has recently stated that the likelihood of American ground troops entering Iran is low at this time. Despite this, there are indications that dialogue has taken place between Trump and Kurdish leaders concerning actions against Iran.

Reports from Reuters reveal that a coalition of Kurdish militias operating on the Iran-Iraq border is preparing for a possible engagement in the conflict with Iran. Their objective is to weaken Iran's military capabilities and create an environment conducive for Iranian opposition groups to instigate a rebellion against the ruling theocratic regime. This coalition of militias is basing its training and strategic planning on the current situation created by joint American and Israeli military actions.

The involvement of Kurdish forces could significantly alter the dynamics of the conflict, posing challenges for the Iranian regime while potentially benefiting US and Israeli interests in the region. This situation is closely monitored given its implications for regional stability and the ongoing geopolitical tensions between the US, Iran, and its allies, including Kurdish groups who seek greater autonomy and recognition.
