The United States’ Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is working to arm Kurdish forces with the aim of fomenting a popular uprising in Iran, CNN reported on March 3.
Multiple people familiar with the plan told the news network that the administration of President Donald Trump has been in active discussions with Iranian opposition groups and Kurdish leaders in Iraq about providing them with military support.
A day earlier, Axios reported that Trump spoke by phone with Kurdish leaders in Iraq on Sunday to discuss the American-Israel war on Iran and what might come next.
Trump spoke to leaders from the two main Kurdish factions in Iraq — Masoud Barzani, leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, and Bafel Talabani, leader of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan.
A senior Iranian Kurdish official also revealed to CNN that Trump spoke with the president of the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan, Mustafa Hijri.
Iranian Kurdish armed groups have thousands of forces operating along the Iraq-Iran border, primarily in Iraq’s Kurdistan region. Since the start of the war, several of the groups have released public statements, hinting at some action.
These groups are expected to take part in a ground operation in Western Iran, in the coming days, the senior Iranian Kurdish official told CNN.
“We believe we have a big chance now,” the source said, explaining the timing of the operation. The source added the groups expect U.S. and Israeli support.
One person familiar with the discussions told CNN that the idea would be for Kurdish armed groups to take on the Iranian security forces and pin them down to make it easier for unarmed Iranians in the major cities to protest.
Another U.S. official said that the Kurds could help sow chaos in the region and stretch the Iranian regime’s military resources thin. Other ideas suggest that the Kurds take and hold territory in the northern part of Iran that would create a buffer zone for Israel.
CNN’s report is in line with another published by The Wall Street Journal on the same, which said that Trump is open to supporting the plan.
Separately, a source from Iranian Kurdistan and now living in Erbil, the capital of Iraq’s Kurdistan region, told Israel’s Yent that, in light of Israel’s extensive air campaign, “Israel could easily carry out a ground attack from Iraqi Kurdistan with the support of the Iranian Kurdish peshmerga.”
Iran has struck military facilities housing or supporting U.S. forces in Iraq’s Kurdistan region since the start of the war. In the last 24 hours, however, the Iranian strikes intensified, and expanded to include positions of Iranian Kurdish opposition groups.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a coalition of armed groups allied to the Islamic Republic, has been playing a key role in these strikes. In recent days it released several videos showing its fighters launched suicide drones, in addition to cruise and ballistic missiles at targets inside the country, and in the region.
The CIA’s plan is very risky. Iranian Kurdish opposition groups are also deeply fractured with differing ideologies, and competing agendas.
Adding to this the fact that while Iran is under pressure from American and Israeli strikes, its regular and reserve ground forces, numbered in the millions, are completely free to quickly attack and crush any uprising. A few thousand Kurdish fighters will have little, if no hope of succeeding.
This is not to mention that Iran’s allies in Iraq could easily move against the Kurdistan region to pressure it into pulling out from the plan.
In general, the plan mimics that of the 1961 Bay of Pigs Invasion, when the CIA landed some 1,500 fighters from Cuban opposition groups on the shores of the country with the aim of overthrowing Fidel Castro’s government. The attempt ended with all of the attackers getting killed or captured.

de ja vu, we’ve all seen this already. nothing new nothing less on the quest. we put the booomb in satanyahus chest.
zionism has failed. if the future of jews is to live in air shelters and go to war every month with the region, this shows jews are too fucking pathetic to deserve a country
the turks will also start targeting these kurds since they are seen as treat to the turkish land
how did it work out for the kurds in syria? are they really that stupid? i guess they never learn.
where is the last news about kurds refusing to be transported to another theater of war and die there for usil empire of lies and being butchered by usil takfiri proxies in syria? like in many other occurences of the usil colonial schemes, invasion forces will be depainted as locals, while mainly being supported by manipulated or enslaved foreigners.
they enjoyed it when their women were raped by golani’s terrorists, twice (2014 and 2026), so…
more penetration coming to iran…heheheh
yes we will join iran to destroy the kurds. see you there if you mom lets you out of the basement.
you g@e @ss.
americunt anuz expertly penetrated w israeli jizz taliban jizz somali jizz in minnesota
the cia are jerks, the kurds are other jerks, because neither of them managed to repeat the heroism of gojko šušak and franjo tuđman. if dump wasn’t just a greedy pedophile pig he would have created a kurdish state. he had the opportunity to cut off part of iran and in his greed he gave it up. maybe his god lucifer will agree not to lucifer throw him and putler into the main cauldron. the question is whether lucifer in hell is actually bothered by the actions of epstein and dump.
the main problem with trump is that he is just a greedy pig. that’s why israel has no use for him either. when the israelis find out, they will let him rot in prison. if trump were smart and human mensh, he would make the sdf a country, part of iraq, and part of turkey into a huge fortress that would protect israel forever. but his main goal is to devour and steal everything foreign, so he is a useless idiot even for israel.
the bay of pigs 64 years ago was a disaster for the deep state and their schedule to become the undisputed hegemon of the world because of hesitation by the us president then. it seems that russian hesitation during the special military operation will eventually lead to a strategic loss for russia, worse than the afghan war and the fall of the ussr.
i want nato to kill all the baby pigs in moscow. i want nato and the polish army to kill all the traitorous alawites in moscow. without their and russia’s betrayal, none of this would have happened.israel now has open airspace and killed 180 iranian girls. in a school. this was intentional.it is impossible and i will never believe that this was not an intentional crime on the level of ratkos srebrenica. this crime was made possible by the traitors putler and the ass ad.
the president of peace is actually going to start ww3 to hide his involvement in the epstein saga.
iran needs to take over irbil. the kurd turds don’t stand a chance.
usil+ officialy only has 2000 troops in harir/bashur air base in iraqi kurdistan, but there are 19 turkish military bases there.
turkey so far sided mostly with usil (is in nato an alliance hostile to iran), despite of slight rivalry with zionist entity (like in cyprus+syria) and would be strenghtened and probably attack iran as they so far only sided with who they viewed as the strongest force.
expectation of life of an acting ayatollah? 8 to 12 hours before the target is terminated and diapatched to hell.
that said, general majid ibn al reza, who was appointed acting defense minister of iran, yesterday, has been killed in us-israel strikes in tehran today.
burn in hell iran.
cheers 🍻
the allies of the us are still bombed to hell nonetheless.
effectiveness of murdering people : not much.
have you checked on your thaad systems recently ? rumour has trump is pulling the one in south korea because some of the 7 that exist have gone missing.
many kurds are stupid from brain . and on top they r traitor and slave of israel . iran and iraq should crush this traitor. and iraq goverment will have chance to take back territory and include in iraq the same way syrian army did to kurds .
kurds are like aborted defective fetal offspring of gypsies that somehow survived, but due to those circumstances their cognitive functions never normally developed like the rest of humans. is not their fault.
that’s why kurds never had & will never have their own country & also because they committed the sayfo
they’re blood cursed.
the so called iraqi government are a joke and american prostitutes, otherwise they would have waged war on us occupation forces a long time ago.
dear kurd brothers do not side with loosers, you will be extinct like israelis and pakistanis. i have told you before, do not be used.
cia cannot plot a used somali condom
*inserts “fell for it again award” meme*
the gore footage from both syria and iraq was very unfortunate but remarkable
let the gay pigs come, they will see.
always the same useful idiots….. it’s all so tiresome…
confirms than saddam hussein was on the right track.
things are clear now trump instructed india modi not to by russian oil s he is going to control venezuella and iran oil.then he agree to crushed russian oil sale russia will have no one to sell to.
more proof u americunts–stupified inferior species
during maaduro kidnap putin were telephonically told not to act as oil markets will fall under the control of usa.russia and china.then both fools agree as putin oil sales to india and china is in competition with iran oil sales to the same clients.
no inconvenient truths from you now !
amerikunts and jews are digging their graves. this will be looked as a hostile act not only by iran but turkey too. zios are desperate. regime changes in arab puppets may be coming. overthrow pro western monarchs
we stuff burritos in our hillbilly anuz—many beans in my diaper
wondering if there only are gusanos mafiosi and brainwashed people siding with us+il. there seems to be shady business and threats to force people to fight for the empire of greed. ethnic minorities are slaughtered by usil proxies like the takfiri when they refuse to become expendable pawns.
americunts only plan killing 8 yr girls
i have said the iraqi border which is long is where any terror threat could come from, this would be the syria playbook have a proxy army invade, wouldn’t surprise me if they used the al qaeda and isis puppets, iran should crush them before they can do anything even if that means invading iraq, as for the kurds what a gang of whores.
‘whores’ ? used condoms would be a more apt description. they survive on being used, then ditched
i really hope the resistance stops the kurds.
