While the attacks by the US and Israel against Iran continue, a striking claim has emerged. The US press alleged that Iranian Kurdish militias have launched a ground assault in northwestern Iran. It was also noted that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned Bafel Talabani, the head of the KDP in Iraq, about the activity of certain terrorist groups near the border against the Tehran administration.

The US press claimed that Iranian Kurdish militias have launched a ground attack in northwestern Iran.

In a report by American Axios news site signed by Barack Ravid, a statement from an unnamed US official was included. The official stated that Iranian-Kurdish militias have initiated a ground attack in northwestern Iran but did not provide any details. These militias consist of small Iranian opposition groups that continue to exist under the Iraqi Regional Kurdish Administration (IKBY).

WARNING FROM ERAKCI TO TALABANI

On the other hand, it was reported that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Erakçi warned Bafel Talabani, the President of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) in Iraq, by discussing the increased activity of certain terrorist groups at the border against the Tehran administration.

THE WHITE HOUSE HAD DENIED

White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt responded to a question regarding the issue during a press briefing held yesterday. Leavitt stated that reports claiming that President (US President Donald Trump) approved such a plan to arm Kurdish forces in the region to encourage a popular uprising in Iran are completely false and should not be written in this way.
