Escalating Tensions: Iranian Kurd Leader Warns of Imminent Ground Invasion
An Iraqi-based Iranian Kurd leader predicts a high likelihood of a ground operation into Iran as the IRGC targets rebel groups in retaliation.
Tensions are mounting along the Iran-Iraq border as an Iranian Kurd leader in Iraq warns of a highly likely ground operation by Iranian forces into the neighboring country. Interviewed by Al Jazeera, Mustafa Hosseini, a prominent figure within the Iranian Kurd opposition, stated that "there is a strong probability of action" as the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has already announced strikes on rebel targets.
The escalating situation is a result of the ongoing unrest within Iran, which has seen widespread protests and clashes between security forces and Kurdish minority groups along the border region. The IRGC has taken a hardline approach, launching a series of cross-border attacks and vowing to crush what it calls "terrorist" groups operating from Iraqi territory.
