Trump Calls Kurdish Generals To Plot Plotting Next 'Epic Rise Up'; Netanyahu On Speed Dial
KEY POINTS
- â˘President Trump spoke on Sunday with Kurdish leaders Masoud Barzani and Bafel Talabani in Iraq after authorizing Saturday's bombings of Iran.
- â˘Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, known for urging strikes on Iran, has been lobbying behind the scenes and laid out a detailed Kurdish uprising plan.
- â˘Kurdish-Iranian opposition groups united shortly before the war, accusing Iran of missile and drone strikes, complicating regional alliances including Turkey.
In the most coordinated international group text since 'Avengers: Middle East Assemble,' President Trump dialed up Iraqi Kurdish bosses Masoud Barzani and Bafel Talabani on Sundayâjust 24 hours after signing off on Saturdayâs bombing bonanza against Iran. This diplomatic buddy flick was spiced up by Israeli PM Netanyahuâs months-long lobbyingâbecause who else to plan regime changes and Kurdish uprisings than a guy whoâs been squad-up buddying Kurdish factions across Syria, Iraq, and Iran forever? Apparently, Netanyahu had a full episode breakdown about Kurdish rebellion tactics, successors, and ârising upâ numbers ready. Meanwhile, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt secrets the call content like itâs the final season of Game of Thrones. The plot thickens with Kurdish Iranian rebel groups uniting against Tehran, missile strikes, and an exile crown prince throwing side-eyeâall topped with Turkey-stress and U.S. phone calls swinging like an overambitious teenage spy thriller.
