🚨NEW from @DropSiteNews: Kurdish, Iranian sources reject claims of incursion Multiple media reports, including some citing anonymous U.S. officials, have indicated that Kurdish militants have now crossed from Iraq into Iran in order to seize Kurdish territory and spark an uprising. The reports follow claims that the CIA has been seeking to arm Kurdish fighters to destabilize Iran. Such an incursion remains a future possibility, but well-informed sources tell Drop Site News that no such invasion has yet to take place. Journalist @Alexis_Daloumis, who is in Syrian and Iraqi Kurdistan reporting for Drop Site, reports that three sources from the Kurdish liberation movement with knowledge of the situation have told him that no such invasion is underway and that PJAK, the only Kurdish organization with robust military capacity that is part of the coalition being discussed, is unlikely to make such a move at this moment. Kurdish sources have denied the claims of an invasion to Drop Site’s @ryangrim and officials from Komala, an Iranian Kurdish organization, similarly have said no such action is being taken. An Iranian official with knowledge of the situation tells Drop Site’s @JeremyScahill that there have been no reports of any breach of the border in that region. Sources in Rojava similarly dismissed reports of any current invasion. These reports may be aimed at sparking an uprising that is not yet happening. Reporters for CNN, Axios, and the Economist, some of whom are well sourced with the U.S. security establishment, have been leading sources of the claims. U.S. and Israeli officials have made no secret that they want to create conditions for an internal uprising to implement their regime change agenda on the ground. Events on the ground are fluid and such an attempted incursion is possible, particularly if the CIA is coordinating or encouraging it, but as of now, reports of an ongoing and active ground operation appear premature. The Associated Press, in a much more careful report Wednesday, said that some minor Kurdish forces were on “standby” and preparing to invade, further undercutting the claim of an active incursion. We’ll continue to update with new developments as we hear more from our sources.
