Turkey Thwarted Israeli Plan to Use Kurds as Proxy Force Against Iran

Türkiye blocked plans to arm up to 10,000 Kurdish fighters as proxies against Iran to prevent regional destabilization and long-term ethnic conflict, officials said.

  • Turkey's National Intelligence Organization head Ibrahim Kalin warned that the Israel-US-Iran war risks escalating into a broader global crisis and causing long-term ethnic conflicts in the region among Turks, Kurds, Arabs, and Persians.
  • Turkey prevented Israel and the US from using Kurdish groups as a proxy force in a planned ground offensive against Iran by conducting senior-level talks with Kurdish political figures and issuing warnings.
  • A coalition of Kurdish groups in Iran and Iraq pledged to challenge the Islamic Republic and advance Kurdish autonomy but remain cautious due to limited US support and ongoing Iranian attacks.
