Tehran's strikes come amid speculation that the US wants Iranian Kurdish groups to join the fight against Iran.
Kurdish Iranian dissident groups based in northern Iraq are preparing for potential cross-border military operations against Iran, reportedly with discussions and some level of support from the United States.
A group of Iranian Kurdish factions, supported by the CIA and Mossad, is preparing for a potential ground offensive in northwestern Iran, coordinated with ongoing U.S.-Israeli airstrikes.
Iran has repeatedly attacked bases of Iranian Kurdish opposition groups based in northern Iraq, including the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (KDPI), Komala, and the Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK).
Airstrikes have targeted the Iran-Iraq border as the US and Israel plan to mobilize Kurdish forces against Iran, with the CIA and Mossad backing the operation.
Reports suggest that the CIA is negotiating with multiple Kurdish groups to aid them in an uprising against Iran, with the aim of stretching Iranian forces and creating a buffer for Israel.
Iranian forces have launched operations targeting Kurdish groups in Iraq's semi-autonomous region, coinciding with a new wave of missile and drone attacks against Israel and U.S. assets in the Middle East.
Drone strikes attributed to Iran have targeted a camp housing Iranian Kurdish fighters and their families in northern Iraq, according to local officials and an exiled opposition group.
A drone strike on an Iranian Kurdish opposition group's base in Iraq's Kurdistan region wounded two fighters, highlighting ongoing tensions between Iran and militant groups in the area.
Iranian state media reports that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched missile and drone strikes against bases of Kurdish opposition groups in Iraq's Kurdistan region.
