A US-Israeli backed ground operation in Iran, executed by Iranian-Kurdish forces, is poised to initiate within the next few days, according to a senior Iranian-Kurdish official. The official emphasised that the opposition forces are anticipating substantial support from both the United States and Israel for this planned military endeavour.
Intelligence and Preparations Underway
Sources with direct knowledge of the strategy have disclosed that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is actively engaged in arming Kurdish forces inside Iran. This initiative aims to foment a widespread popular uprising against the current regime. Thousands of Iranian Kurdish troops are currently stationed along the border with Iraq, primarily within Iraq's autonomous Kurdistan region, readying for potential action.
Escalating Regional Conflict
This development unfolds against a backdrop of rapidly escalating hostilities across the Middle East. Recent events include an Israeli F-35 fighter jet successfully downing an Iranian warplane. Additionally, a fresh wave of airstrikes has targeted key locations, including Tehran, Kuwait, and Beirut, further intensifying regional tensions.
The convergence of these military activities suggests a coordinated effort to apply pressure on Iran from multiple fronts. The planned ground operation, if launched, would represent a significant escalation, moving beyond aerial bombardments to direct, boots-on-the-ground engagement by proxy forces.
Analysts are closely monitoring the situation, noting that the involvement of Kurdish forces adds a complex internal dimension to the international conflict. The success of such an operation would heavily depend on the level of covert support and logistics provided by the US and Israeli intelligence agencies.
