According to them, the White House is actively discussing with Iranian opposition groups and Kurdish leaders in Iraq the possibility of providing them with military support.
The Kurds have groups of thousands of armed fighters operating along the Iraqi-Iranian border, primarily in Iraqi Kurdistan. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps carried out drone strikes on them last week, it said.
The CIA's plan is that the Kurdish forces should tie up the Iranian security forces in battle so that Iranian civilians in large cities can take to the streets without being subjected to massacres, according to the journalists' interlocutors. In their opinion, the Kurds are capable of wreaking havoc in the region and scattering the military resources of the Iranian regime; in addition, the possibility of the Kurds seizing and holding territory in northern Iran with the creation of a buffer zone for Israel there is being discussed.
CNN indicates that American President Donald Trump has already held talks with the President of the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan, Mustafa Hijri. Kurdish opposition forces are expected to take part in a ground operation in western Iran in the coming days, he says.
“We think we have a big chance now,” the source said, explaining the timing of the operation. According to him, the militias are counting on support from the United States and Israel.
