Kurdish Fighters Mass Near Iran Border as New Front Against Tehran Emerges

Reporting from SOFX indicates that Iranian Kurdish opposition groups have started to position fighters near or inside Iran as part of a potential cross-border offensive against Iran. Officials from the Coalition of Political Forces of Iranian Kurdistan (CPFIK) say thousands of fighters from groups such as PJAK and PAK have moved into staging areas near the Iranian border, while The Guardian reports that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has responded with border reinforcements and airstrikes against Kurdish positions in Iraq.
