The C.I.A. has given small weapons to Iranian Kurdish forces in Iraq in a covert program that began before the current war.
Pro-American, Iranian Kurdish forces based in Iraq are preparing armed units that could enter Iran, creating a potential new front in an already expanding conflict, according to Iraqi officials and senior members of Iranian Kurdish groups.
The C.I.A. has previously given small arms to the Iranian Kurdish forces as part of a covert program to destabilize Iran, an effort that began before the current war, according to people familiar with the effort.
But in a briefing on Wednesday, Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said reports that President Trump had agreed to any plan for the Kurds to launch an insurgency in Iran were “completely false.”
Operation Cyclone again? I thought we already did this episode…
I have good friends that are Kurdish immigrants who fled Saddam, but this won’t work. It’ll be the same shit, arming another group, spreading wars, and creating ripple effects we can’t perceive.

wink wink
Are the Kurds so hard up that they need to take this deal, even though like the last 5 times they got abandoned as soon as they became inconvenient?
Its Iraq all over again
Is this is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny.
