Report: Kurdish Fighters Have Been Entering Iran From Iraq and Clashing With the IRGC

Turkish intelligence has warned Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) that Kurdish fighters have been entering Iran from Iraq amid protests inside Iran, Reuters reported on Wednesday.

The US has a significant presence in Iraqi Kurdistan, including a military base and an $800 million consulate compound that it opened in December. The Israeli Mossad is also known for having a presence in the area, and Iran claimed that it attacked a Mossad base in Iraqi Kurdistan in 2024.

These are the same Iraqi Kurds for whom the U.S. established the post‑1991 autonomous zone. Erbil Governorate sits on the Iran‑facing side of Iraqi Kurdistan. The U.S. operates Harir Air Base there (active since 2003) and maintains the largest consulate compound in the world. This is a forward U.S. position on Iran’s border. The U.S./Coalition also has units in Sulaymaniyah Governorate, which likewise borders Iran.

Providing material support including communication equipment is a stated policy of US plans for regime change and specifically in regards to Iran.

Evidence from 2009 onward exposes the US government’s use of US-based tech giants – Google, Twitter, and Facebook – and now Elon Musk’s SpaceX – to advance US foreign policy in violation of international law and the UN Charter.
