Kurdish Freedom Fighters and the Coming Fall of Iran

The Freedom Chronicles,

Vol. 3.8.26

Amid war news coming from the Middle East, there have been reports of Kurdish military units massing near the Iranian Northern border, preparing to invade the country. In response, retired CIA Director General David Petraeus has opined that there is no prospect of Kurdish forces defeating the Iranian regime, which has at its command roughly a million men-at-arms.

One week into our war against the Iranian regime, its senior military leadership remains in place. But word is leaking out that some of the Iranian rank and file, such as those manning missile launchers and munitions factories, are not showing up for work, failing to opt for martyrdom.

Unreported by a feckless media, the Shiite regime in Tehran is ringed by disaffected, mostly Sunni, minority provinces. These freedom fighters are the Kurds in the northwest, the Azeri’s in the north, the Arabs in the southwest province of Khuzestan, and the Baluchis in the southeast, all of them inside the country.

Well before American troops invaded Iraq in 2003, our allies, the Kurds, launched attacks against the murderous Iraqi government. In 2016 and 17, the Kurds, despite being Islamic, fielded many militias, including all-women fighting units who won decisive battles against ISIS, so respectful are they of women’s rights.

During the war to topple Saddam Hussein, secret rogue elements within the CIA, based in Afghanistan, unaffiliated Kurdistan, and Turkmenistan, supplied Iraqi revolutionary commandos with secure satellite phones, weapons, ammunition, money, and rations, and mounted highly successful attacks on the Iraqi government. We can do this again with the Kurds, both inside Iran and on its Northern border.

The KRG (Kurdish Regional Government) in northern Iraq today is a staunch ally of and a major trading partner with Israel. The 30 million Kurds are spread across a diaspora in Eastern Turkey, Syria, Northern Iraq, and Iran. They are perhaps the largest ethnic group without a homeland. If they are deployed in the fight against the hated Iranian regime, perhaps the U.S. could begin the delicate negotiations to recognize a free and independent Kurdistan.

In response to the Mullahs’ despotic rule, our support of the freedom fighters inside Iran, the Azeris, Baluchis, Arabs, and Kurds, surely would be decisive in this war to topple the hated regime run by the Mullahs in Tehran. With the help of U.S. Special Forces, the CIA-led minority militias, combined with American and Israeli precision air power, could quickly and easily cut off the regime’s supply lines, starve it, surround it, and kill it.
