US and Kurdish groups discuss possible military action in Iran, sources say

Sources familiar with the matter have indicated that Iranian Kurdish militias have recently held consultations with the United States regarding potential military operations targeting Iran's security forces in the western region of the country. According to three individuals with knowledge of these discussions, the talks are ongoing and no final decision has been reached concerning the timing of any such attack.

The coalition of Iranian Kurdish groups involved is reportedly based along the Iran-Iraq border, within the semi-autonomous area of Iraqi Kurdistan. These groups have been training for a possible operation aimed at weakening Iran's military presence and creating conditions for an uprising. Two sources stated that the intended timing of the attack would be after a US-Israeli military operation that began on Saturday, which they claim resulted in the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other senior Iranian officials.

The Kurdish groups are said to have requested military support from the United States, including unspecified assistance. However, sources emphasized that a final decision regarding the operation and its timing has not yet been made. All sources cited requested anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the discussions.

Meanwhile, reports have emerged that Iranian intelligence has signaled interest in 'off-ramp' talks. However, Tehran has publicly dismissed these reports, describing them as 'psychological warfare'.

There are no further details available regarding the specifics of the proposed military support or the content of the ongoing discussions. The situation remains fluid, with both the Kurdish groups and US officials yet to confirm any concrete plans for action.
