Svmuu News: U.S. and Israeli officials, as well as a senior official from a faction of an Iranian Kurdish armed group, have stated that militants from various Iranian Kurdish factions are preparing for a possible ground offensive against the regime in northwestern Iran.This represents a potential avenue for the U.S. and Israel to increase pressure on the Iranian regime, encourage internal rebellion, and spread the conflict to other regions of Iran. U.S. officials stated that the idea of supporting Iranian Kurdish factions in launching a ground offensive against Iran originated with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Mossad, with the CIA later joining the effort.However, White House Press Secretary Levitt told reporters on Wednesday that President Donald Trump has not yet approved any plans to support an attack by Iranian Kurdish militias against the Iranian regime. A Kurdish source said such an offensive could begin later this week, but all factions are waiting for the U.S. to give the “green light.” (AXIOS)
