CIA and Mossad Recruit Kurdish Militias as Human Decoys in Iran Game of Risk
KEY POINTS
- •Six days before the war started, five Kurdish Iranian factions united in Iraq to form a coalition against Iran.
- •The Kurdish groups, backed secretly by Mossad and the CIA, prepared a ground offensive in northwest Iran to pressure the regime.
- •Israeli jets bombed Iranian border positions while Kurdish factions waited for a U.S. 'green light' before launching their attack.
Six days before anyone picked a fight with Iran, five Kurdish factions camping in Iraq formed the Coalition of Political Forces of Iranian Kurdistan like it’s a Marvel team, boasting 'thousands' of soldiers eagerly sneaking over the Iran-Iraq border. Backed by the Mossad and CIA—because nothing says friendship like secret funding—they dream of turning a chunk of northwest Iran into the Kurdish version of a garage startup. Israeli jets have already been bombing border spots harder than a teenager’s failed Spotify debut. In the midst of this thriller, Secretary of State Marco Rubio gives Congress the cryptic update: 'We're not arming the Kurds. But you never know with the Israelis,' leaving everyone wondering if this is diplomacy or the plot of a Realtv spy series.
