Trump called the plan "wonderful."

Israel supports Kurdish plans to seize Iran's border cities. This writes Reuters citing insider information.

According to Reuters, Israel is now in talks with Kurdish armed groups on Iran's western border.

The Israelis want to help Iranian Kurds capture Iran's border cities as part of a military operation against Tehran that began on February 28, 2026. It is not specified at what stage the talks are at.

Israel believes that the Kurds can help overthrow the ayatollahs' regime. That is why the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is now conducting air strikes against military installations in western Iran.

The possibility of Kurdish militias joining the war against Iran has been discussed for several days now, after US President Donald Trump said it would be a good thing. According to Trump, it would be "wonderful" if the Kurds joined the war against the Iranian army.

The media even reported that Iraqi Kurds had crossed the border into Iran and occupied some border areas. They referred to the statement of a representative of the Coalition of Political Forces of Iranian Kurdistan. But the Kurds quickly denied this information.
