So everyone is counting on the Kurds to start undermining the Iranian regime,

at least from the ground, Roy Kais,

Trump wants to arm them even more,

but you say not everyone is enthusiastic.

Right. In recent days something interesting has been happening. Trump, unusually,

is talking with Kurdish leaders in Iraq to start feeling things out,

to start getting this move going,

a Kurdish ground operation on the border between Iraq and Iran.

A senior official in the Kurdish region in northern Iraq tells me the following:

Our reports exaggerate the strength and capabilities of the Iranian Kurdish

separatist organizations.

He claims, as was explained to the Americans,

this is not“ one blow and we’re done.”

It is a process that can also take years,

and according to him this is a move that needs to be planned carefully, thoroughly,

not from one moment to the next.

That same senior official in the Kurdish region also tells me that they want to

receive guarantees from the United States that they will be protected,

that the entire region will be fully protected if such a move is launched,

because right now the Iranians are only attacking American targets,

But once such a move is launched, the entire Kurdish region will be under fire.

They just do not want to get entangled with the Iranians, in short.

And this evening we spoke with the leader of one of the Kurdish separatist

organizations operating from Iran, He is speaking with us from his hiding

place and asking for help from the United States and from Israel. Here he is.

Especially since America and Israel have always

been the two countries that tried to change this regime and topple this regime.

This is a duty of politics, this is part of diplomacy. We will not refuse.

As for us, I hope that America first and Israel second will not leave us halfway

through the game. Help the Kurdish people,

the Kurdish people have proven to the world that they are for peace,

not for war and destruction.

And likewise in Iran there are other non- Persian peoples such as Ahwaz,

Baluchistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan. So try to let us

have full freedom in the region, for the benefit of everyone, and thank you.
