US Engages Kurdish Groups Amid Iran Conflict; Kurdistan Denies Involvement in War

Amid escalating conflict involving the US, Israel, and Iran, reports indicate that the Trump administration has engaged with Iranian Kurdish opposition groups and Iraqi Kurdish leaders about potential military support, including possible air cover, to encourage Kurdish forces to launch operations inside Iran. While some Kurdish militias are reportedly preparing for cross-border actions, the Kurdistan Regional Government has denied involvement in any campaign against Iran, calling such claims unfounded. Iran has responded with strikes targeting Kurdish groups and warned regional neighbors against sheltering Americans, signaling readiness for prolonged conflict.
