A new front is opening in the Iran war and it is not coming from the sky or missiles or drones.

It is coming from the mountains.

Because behind the smoke of American and Israeli air strikes, a secret ground game is quietly unfolding.

And at the center of it are the Kurds.

Yes.

The same Kurdish fighters who once battled ISIS, the same Kurdish militias that have fought for autonomy across the Middle East are now being pulled into the biggest war in [music] the region.

Hello and welcome.

I am Nikita Kapoor and you are watching Decode.

And in this episode, we decode, is the United States preparing a Kurdish ground invasion of Iran? Missiles are flying, cities [music] are burning, thousands are already dead across Iran.

But while the world watches the air war, a second battlefield is quietly opening along the Iran Iraq border.

This is the [music] Kurdesh frontier, a rugged mountain region, hard to access, harder to control.

And that region is suddenly becoming one of the most dangerous places in the Middle East because Iran has started directly bombing Kurdish positions.

Iranian missiles have struck the Kurdish city of Sulai Mana in northern Iraq and Iranian forces say they’re targeting what they call anti-Iran separatist forces.

Translation Kurdish rebel groups.

Iran says it has already fired three missiles at their headquarters and launched 30 drones against Kurdish positions along the border.

This is no longer a warning viewers.

This is [music] preemptive warfare.

But why is Iran suddenly attacking Kurdish groups? Because Thrhan believes something very dangerous is happening behind [music] the scenes.

According to multiple reports, Washington has been talking to Kuresh leaders, not one, not two, but at least three different [music] Kuresh factions.

And these conversations are happening right in the middle of the war which raises a massive question.

Is Washington preparing Kuresh fighters to open a ground front inside Iran? Let’s look at the players involved.

One of the biggest Kurdesh political figures in Iraq, Masoud Bzani, the leader of Kuristan Democratic Party.

Another powerful Kuresh leader, Bafel Talibani, who leads the patriotic union of Kuristan.

Both of them control powerful Kurdish networks inside Iraq.

But that’s not all.

There are also Kurdish groups inside Iran itself.

One of the biggest is led by Mustafa Hedri, the head of the Democratic Party of Iranian Kuristan.

[music] These fighters have been opposing the Iranian government for decades now.

And according to reports, thousands of Kurdish fighters are already positioned along the Iran Iraq border.

waiting, watching, preparing, and reportedly bagged by US President Donald Trump.

And something else happened just before the war began.

Several Iranian Kurdish groups suddenly formed [music] a new alliance.

It is called the Coalition of Political Forces of Iranian Kuryasan.

And this coalition did something extremely bold.

It called on Iranian soldiers to defect.

Imagine that.

An armed Kurdish coalition telling the Iranian military, “Switch sides.

” Now, here’s where the story becomes even more explosive.

Strategists in Washington believe Kurdesh fighters could serve a very specific purpose in this war.

Not to defeat Iran alone, but to stretch Iran’s military.

Think of it like a chess boat.

Iran’s army is currently focused on defending against air strikes from the United States of America and Israel.

But if Kurdish fighters suddenly push into northern Iran, Thran would be forced to fight on multiple fronts.

Air war in the skies, missile attacks across cities, and guerilla battles in the mountains.

That would stretch Iran’s military resources to the breaking point.

But there may be an even bigger strategic goal here.

Some analysts believe Kurdish fighters could try to capture territory in northern Iran.

Why? To create a buffer zone, a safe corridor that could potentially help Israeli operations or weaken Iranian control over the border region.

And interestingly, American and Israeli air strikes have heavily targeted areas along the Iraq Iran border since the war began, which could mean something very deliberate, clearing the path, destroying Iranian defenses before Kurdish fighters move in.

But here is the uncomfortable truth, viewers.

The Kurds have seen this movie before.

For decades, Kurdish fighters have often been used as battlefield allies by global powers.

Sometimes supported, sometimes abandoned.

In Gulf War, Kurdish forces worked with the United States of America to fight Saddam Hussein.

That cooperation helped create the semiautonomous Kurdish region inside Iraq.

Later, Kurdish fighters played a massive role in defeating Islamic State in Syria.

But alliances in the Middle East can change overnight.

And Kadesh groups know that better [music] than anyone else.

Right now, Kadesh fighters see a historic opportunity.

Iran’s government is under enormous pressure and weakest in decades.

War, sanctions, air strikes, bombardment for Kurdish movements that have long demanded autonomy.

This moment could look like the opening they have waited decades for.

But it is also incredibly risky because if Kurdish forces cross into Iran in large numbers, this war will stop being just a regional air conflict.

It will become a fullcale ground war as well.

And once ground wars begin, they are very difficult to stop.

The situation on the Iran Iraq border is becoming extremely volatile.

Iran is launching missiles, backto-back [music] missiles.

Kurdish fighters are mobilizing.

Washington is talking to Kurdish leaders continuously.

And the mountains, the mountains separating Iraq and Iran are suddenly turning into the next battlefield.

The skies over Iran are already on fire.

But if Kurdish fighters move across that very border, the war will enter a completely new phase.

Is this Donald Trump’s ground invasion plan? What do you think? Tell us in the comment section below.
