US Engages Kurdish Groups in Talks on Potential Ground Operation Against Iran

Multiple reports indicate that the US, under the Trump administration, is engaging with Kurdish armed groups along the Iraq-Iran border to potentially support a ground operation against Iran's regime. The CIA is reportedly discussing arming these Kurdish forces to stretch Iranian military resources, enable civilian protests, and possibly seize territory in northern Iran. While details on timing and US military involvement remain unclear, Kurdish groups and Iraqi authorities are involved in ongoing talks amid heightened regional tensions following recent US-Israeli strikes on Iran.
