US EditionKurdish Fighters Launch Ground Offensive Into Iran From Iraq Border: Reports
Kurdish fighters in northern Iraq have mobilized near the Iran border with U.S. engagement, potentially challenging Tehran amid ongoing regional conflict and longstanding Kurdish grievances.
- On March 2, Kurdish fighters began cross‑border movements into Iran, with Kurdistan Free Life Party units taking combat positions as Iranian forces evacuated Mariwan and set defenses on March 3.
- Kurdish leaders say the operation aims to force Tehran to divert forces and ease pressure on protesters inside Iran, with a senior Kurdish source calling Tuesday 'a major opportunity now' amid heavy military pressure.
- Militarily, PJAK and allied groups include thousands of fighters deployed in the Zagros Mountains with two armed wings, YRK and HPJ, while Komala says its forces can cross within 10 days.
- Iraq moved to seal the border after Iran requested action, with Iraq's National Security Adviser Qassim al‑Araji saying reinforcements were sent to prevent infiltrations, while tensions rise with Iran-backed Iraqi militias after strikes on Irbil.
