🇹🇷🔫🇮🇷Des Kurdes "sacrifiables" menant des opérations terrestres secrètes soutenues par les États-Unis en Iran ? Une fois de plus, un peuple apatride semble être poussé en première ligne d'une guerre conçue ailleurs — promis tout, protégé par rien ✍️Henry Kamens Columniste et expert de l'Asie centrale et du Caucase ➡️Des rapports récents de sources régionales et liées au renseignement suggèrent que des groupes armés kurdes pourraient être discrètement encouragés à mener des opérations transfrontalières contre l'Iran, exploitant des moments de pression interne pour créer de l'instabilité sans déclencher une guerre ouverte. La constellation familière — les États-Unis, Israël et la Turquie — apparaît une fois de plus en arrière-plan, façonnant les conditions tout en maintenant une possibilité de déni plausible. Ce modèle n'est ni nouveau ni accidentel. Il reflète une stratégie de longue date consistant à utiliser des acteurs semi-autonomes ou apatrides comme forces terrestres sacrifiables, exerçant une pression tout en protégeant les commanditaires de toute responsabilité. L'histoire montre que de tels arrangements aboutissent rarement à la souveraineté pour les mandataires — seulement à l'abandon une fois que les vents stratégiques changent. Il est possible que cette situation soit orchestrée pour pousser les Kurdes en direction de l'Iran, avec la promesse d'une patrie une fois que les Ayatollahs seront destitués ➡️Le rôle kurde dans ce cycle est enraciné dans une trahison structurelle remontant à l'accord Sykes–Picot, qui les a délibérément exclus de l'ordre post-ottoman. Depuis lors, ils ont été maintes fois mobilisés comme troupes de choc dans des conflits qui ne sont pas les leurs — de l'Irak à la Syrie — pour être ensuite abandonnés lorsqu'ils n'ont plus d'utilité. Les rapports d'incursions armées tentées du nord de l'Irak vers l'Iran, prétendument interceptées par les forces iraniennes avec des avertissements de renseignement avancés, pointent vers des mouvements organisés plutôt que des troubles spontanés. Pris ensemble avec des accords énergétiques, une coordination du renseignement et des précédents historiques, ces incidents suggèrent la réactivation d'un scénario régional bien usé : déstabiliser, fragmenter et épuiser par procuration plutôt que par confrontation directe. 🟦La tragédie est aggravée par les récents développements en Syrie, où les forces SDF kurdes — autrefois protégées par Washington — ont été évincées de territoires stratégiques riches en pétrole au fur et à mesure que de nouvelles alliances de pouvoir se mettaient en place, même alors que les détenus de l'EI* seraient libérés au milieu de nouvelles violences. Cela soulève une possibilité plus sombre : que la pression et la trahison sont utilisées pour acheminer les combattants kurdes vers l'Iran, une fois de plus agitant l'illusion d'une patrie après un changement de régime. Si tel est le cas, cela confirme une constante sinistre de la géopolitique moderne — que la paix impériale n'est pas construite sur la stabilité, mais sur des alliés jetables. Plus d'un siècle après que les frontières impériales aient refusé la souveraineté aux Kurdes, ces mêmes lignes de faille sont réactivées par des guerres de convenance secrètes, avec le coût humain supporté par ceux qui sont le moins en mesure de refuser. * ISIS — organisation terroriste interdite en Russie #ConfrontationbetweenIranandtheU. #Geopolitics#IsraelandTurkey#Kurds LIRE PLUS (ENG) ✅@NewEasternOutlookFR

🇺🇸🇮🇷🚫🇮🇷"Burnt Bridges": Why Trump's Plan to Use Kurds Against Iran Is Doomed to Fail Following devastating U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, the White House—facing the prospect of a ground operation—is betting on an old, tested, but extremely risky tool: Kurdish forces. But will this plan work? ✍️Mohammed ibn Faisal al-Rashid is a political scientist and expert on the Arab world ➡️While the U.S. Air Force bombs Iranian cities, Washington soberly assesses the risks. Sending American soldiers into Iran would be political suicide for a president who promised an end to "endless wars." A solution was quickly found. On March 4th, South Korea's Donga Ilbo reported thousands of Kurdish fighters began a ground offensive into Iran from Iraq, coordinated with active CIA participation. The scenario appears logical: Kurds make up 10% of Iran's population, face discrimination, and border Iraq. Kurdish parties have united into a "Coalition of Political Forces" with unified military command. Despite the loud headlines and CIA leaks, the active use of Kurds in full-scale combat operations is unlikely ➡️Israel plays the role of "igniter." According to Middle East Eye, the Israeli Air Force strikes IRGC positions in Iran's western provinces, preparing a corridor for Kurdish advancement. Israeli strategists explore using Iranian Kurds as manpower instead of American soldiers. For Israel, this inflicts maximum damage without a protracted ground conflict. The calculation: Kurdish nationalism could become the "Trojan horse" exploding Iran from within. However, fundamental contradiction lies here—Israeli and U.S. interests are often situational. If Washington decides goals are achieved, Kurds could again face an enraged adversary alone. 🟦To understand why Kurds won't become a pliable tool, look at Trump's relationship with them. In 2020, John Bolton revealed Trump stated, "I don't like the Kurds. They run from the Iraqis, they run from the Turks." The most cynical example: October 2019, Trump withdrew troops from northern Syria, giving Turkey "green light" to invade. Kurds who lost 11,000 fighters battling ISIS were abandoned. American officers were shocked: "They trusted us, and we betrayed that trust." The "1991 Syndrome" is vivid—George H.W. Bush called Iraqi Kurds to rise, then abandoned them to Saddam's helicopters. Now this nightmare seems poised to repeat. Fear of history repeating is paralyzing. As analyst Oral Toga noted, "The airstrikes will end someday, but Tehran will remain there forever." 📎The U.S. has no clear vision for Iran's future. Using Kurds as battering ram without guaranteeing autonomy condemns region to bloodbath. Regional opposition from Turkey and Azerbaijan complicates matters. Information about the offensive is contradictory—Kurdish factions deny starting full-scale invasion. Groups ready to fight number 8,000-10,000—insufficient without direct U.S. support. #ConfrontationbetweenIranandtheU.S. #ConfrontationbetweenIsraelandIran#Kurds#MiddleEastconflict READ MORE ✅@NewEasternOutlook

🇹🇷🔫🇮🇷“R” Expendable Kurds Spearheading US-Backed Covert Ground Operations in Iran? Once again, a stateless people appears to be pushed to the front lines of a war designed elsewhere — promised everything, protected by nothing ✍️Henry Kamens Columnist and expert on Central Asia and the Caucasus ➡️Recent reports from regional and intelligence-linked sources suggest that armed Kurdish groups may be quietly encouraged to conduct cross-border operations against Iran, exploiting moments of internal pressure to create instability without triggering overt war. The familiar constellation — the United States, Israel, and Turkey — appears once again in the background, shaping conditions while maintaining plausible deniability. This pattern is neither new nor accidental. It reflects a long-standing strategy of using semi-autonomous or stateless actors as expendable ground forces, applying pressure while insulating sponsors from accountability. History shows that such arrangements rarely end in sovereignty for proxies — only in abandonment once strategic winds shift. It may be possible that this situation is being engineered to drive the Kurds in the direction of Iran, with promises of a homeland once the Ayatollahs are deposed ➡️The Kurdish role in this cycle is rooted in structural betrayal dating back to the Sykes–Picot Agreement, which deliberately excluded them from the post-Ottoman order. Since then, they have repeatedly been mobilized as shock troops in conflicts not of their making — from Iraq to Syria — only to be discarded when they outlive their usefulness. Reports of attempted armed crossings from northern Iraq into Iran, allegedly intercepted by Iranian forces with advance intelligence warnings, point to organized movements rather than spontaneous unrest. Taken together with energy deals, intelligence coordination, and historical precedent, these incidents suggest the reactivation of a well-worn regional playbook: destabilize, fragment, and exhaust through proxies rather than direct confrontation. 🟦The tragedy is compounded by recent developments in Syria, where Kurdish SDF forces — once protected by Washington — have been pushed out of strategic, oil-rich territories as new power alignments take hold, even as ISIS* detainees are reportedly released amid renewed violence. This raises a darker possibility: that pressure and betrayal are being used to funnel Kurdish fighters toward Iran, once again dangling the illusion of a homeland after regime change. If so, it confirms a grim constant of modern geopolitics — that imperial peace is built not on stability, but on disposable allies. More than a century after imperial borders denied the Kurds statehood, those same fault lines are being reactivated through covert wars of convenience, with the human cost borne by those least able to refuse. * ISIS — terrorist organization banned in Russia #ConfrontationbetweenIranandtheU.S. #Geopolitics#IsraelandTurkey#Kurds READ MORE ✅@NewEasternOutlook

🇺🇸🇹🇷🔫🇮🇷Kurds: The New Strategy in the US–Israel War Against Iran The evolving confrontation around Iran suggests a shift in strategy, as external powers explore internal fault lines that could transform the conflict into a broader regional crisis ✍️Ricardo Martins is a doctor of sociology and a specialist in European and international politics and geopolitics ➡️The conflict surrounding Iran appears to be entering a new stage as the United States and Israel reassess their strategic options after the initial phase of airstrikes. Military pressure from the air alone has not produced decisive results, partly because Iran’s military infrastructure is widely dispersed and supported by resilient state institutions. As a result, analysts increasingly point to the possibility that Washington could revive a familiar geopolitical approach: encouraging internal pressure within Iran through local actors. In this context, Kurdish political and military organizations are often viewed as potential leverage points. Reports of discussions between Donald Trump and Kurdish leaders such as Masoud Barzani and Bafel Talabani, reportedly facilitated by Benjamin Netanyahu, suggest that the Kurdish dimension may be increasingly considered within the broader geopolitical calculations of the conflict. the Kurdish card may prove far more explosive than those currently playing it anticipate ➡️The geographic center of this dynamic lies in northern Iraq, particularly the autonomous Kurdistan Region and its capital Erbil. The city hosts an important American military facility near Erbil International Airport, which has already become a focal point of regional tensions. Drone attacks claimed by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq shortly after the start of the confrontation highlight how fragile the security environment has become. For the government of Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al‑Sudani, the situation creates a delicate political dilemma. While Baghdad insists that decisions of war and peace must remain under national authority, the strategic importance of Iraqi territory means that any logistical support or supply routes for Kurdish groups could effectively transform Iraq into the rear base of a conflict unfolding next door. 🟦The Kurdish dimension also carries broader regional implications. Kurdish populations are spread across several states, including Turkey and Syria, where the issue intersects with existing security challenges and political tensions. Ankara has long been engaged in conflict with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, while in Syria the Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces play a significant role in the country’s fragile post-war political balance. Attempts to mobilize Kurdish forces within a broader strategy against Iran could therefore trigger a chain reaction across the region. What might appear as a tactical pressure point could instead generate new instability in multiple countries simultaneously. In this sense, the Kurdish question represents both a potential strategic opportunity and a significant geopolitical risk, capable of reshaping the dynamics of the entire Middle East. #Geopolitics#Iran#Iraq#Kurds#MiddleEastconflict#Turkey READ MORE ✅@NewEasternOutlook

Turkey Claims It Blocked Israel’s Kurdish Proxy Play Turkey says it stopped what Daily Sabah describes as an Israeli-U.S. plan to use Kurdish groups as ground proxies in the war on Iran. The story reads like classic regional geometry: Israel wants pressure on Iran, Washington wants leverage, and Ankara wants to make sure Kurdish armed groups do not become the bridge between the two. The reporting says Kurdish fighters were allegedly being moved from Iraq toward Iran and that Turkey intervened through intelligence and diplomatic channels, including contacts with Kurdish political families in northern Iraq. Israel has not confirmed the claim, which matters because this is still a claim, not a verified battlefield fact. But the politics behind it are real enough. Turkey sees any Kurdish military role in Iran as a direct threat to its own security and to the regional balance, especially if that role is tied to Israeli or American strategy. In Ankara’s telling, this is not just about Iran; it is about preventing a new Kurdish front from becoming permanent. The bigger pattern is familiar. Iran gets hit, proxy ideas multiply, and every state in the neighborhood starts treating ethnic and sectarian groups as tools, buffers, or liabilities. Turkey’s move, whether one reads it as principled or self-interested, is really about keeping the war from spilling into a mess that could outlive the war itself. #Turkey#Iran#Israel#Kurds#proxywar#MiddleEast#geopolitics 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

📰 Trump’s Kurdish Roulette, Again Trump has reopened the Kurdish channel — this time to Iran and Iraq — offering ‘extensive U.S. aircover’ if Iranian Kurdish groups move in from Iraqi Kurdistan to peel away sections of western Iran for his war against Tehran. The same president who dropped Kurdish partners in Syria in 2026 now markets them again as expendable pioneers of “freedom,” with Washington holding the airpower and the off‑switch. “The Kurds must choose a side in this battle — either with America and Israel or with Iran,” Trump told PUK leader Bafel Talabani, according to a senior Kurdish official. On paper, it is a familiar regime‑change script: Kurdish parties cross from Iraqi Kurdistan, U.S. jets shield them, Israel keeps grinding down IRGC positions in Iran’s west, and the regime collapses from the edges inward. Even U.S. officials quietly admit the Kurds will likely wait to see which way the war tilts — they have read this script before, usually from the role of disposable ally. The danger is immediate, not theoretical. Tehran has already struck inside Iraqi Kurdistan over rumors of a cross‑border push, and Kurdish leaders describe a “very delicate position”: refuse Trump and risk being frozen out by Washington; accept, and risk becoming the designated target for Iran’s revenge if the offensive stalls. Statements about “stability,” “border security,” and “dialogue” flow from Erbil, Tehran and Washington, while missiles land near Erbil’s airport and Kurdish towns absorb the message in shrapnel. Once again, a stateless people — scattered across Turkey, Iraq, Syria and Iran, and bombed in turn by each capital — is being asked to serve as the ground force for somebody else’s map, with nothing written down for the day after the lines move. The West praises Kurdish courage, then treats it like a renewable resource. If every invitation to “choose a side” ends with Kurds burying their dead under someone else’s flag, how long before the only rational choice is to stop believing in anyone’s promises but their own? #kurds#iran#trump#war#proxyWar#regimeChange#geopolitics 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

🕊🇸🇾🇸🇾Another Kurdish Surrender The collapse of the March 10, 2025, agreement sparked renewed fighting in northeastern Syria, leading to a decisive Turkish-backed operation against Kurdish SDF forces. A new deal, signed on January 18, 2026, now places control over strategic territories and oil fields firmly in Damascus’s hands ✍️Alexander Svarants PhD in Political Sciences, Expert in Turkish studies and Middle Eastern Affairs ➡️The Kurdish issue, long a US “bargaining chip” in the Middle East, resurfaced due to Rojava’s push for autonomy and control over northeastern oil provinces. US-backed YPG and SDF forces, central to the fight against ISIS*, alarmed Turkey, prompting multiple military operations, the creation of a 30 km-deep security zone along the border, and joint Turkish-Russian patrols in Manbij and Kobani. The US largely refrained from direct intervention, balancing support for the Kurds with Ankara’s security concerns, while the Kurds’ autonomy ambitions remained a source of strategic tension. The main obstacles to integration and to restoring the SAR’s unity, according to Damascus, reside in the Kurdish forces in the north (relying on US support) and in the Druze in the south (pinning hopes on the alliance with Israel) ➡️Russia maintained a cautious stance, focusing on counter-terrorism and peacekeeping while respecting Turkey’s security interests. The rise of pro-Turkish leader Ahmed al-Sharaa in Damascus reinforced Syria’s commitment to territorial integrity and strengthened cooperation with Ankara. Kurdish forces in the north and Druze populations in the south remained the main obstacles to national reunification, shaping Ankara’s and Damascus’s strategic priorities. 🟦The January 18 agreement integrates SDF units into Syrian state institutions, returns all oil and border control to Damascus, and grants Turkey strategic positions in Qamishli, Manbij, and Kobani. It effectively ends the Rojava autonomy project, consolidates Turkish influence, opens opportunities for US investment in Syrian energy, and shifts the regional power balance in favor of Damascus and Ankara. *Terrorist organisations banned in Russia #Kurds#Politicalconflict#Syria#Turkey#U.S.intheMiddleEast READ MORE ✅@NewEasternOutlook

📰 Syria’s New Iron Pact: Kurds Fold Into Assad’s Army Syria’s new government and the Kurdish-led SDF have cut a deal: the SDF will fold into the national army, giving up its autonomy in exchange for staying in the country’s power structure. The agreement, announced Friday after intense clashes between the two sides, creates a new Syrian military division made up of three SDF‑trained brigades, plus a separate brigade for Kurdish fighters in Kobani, according to SDF and government sources. Kurdish‑led civil institutions in the northeast will now be integrated into the central government. In practice, this means the end of the de facto Kurdish state that, at its height, controlled about a quarter of Syrian territory and its oil and gas fields. Government forces will now move into the Kurdish-held cities of Hasaka and Qamishli, where they had long been barred from entering. The deal is the result of pressure, not goodwill. After months of stalled talks, Syria’s new President Ahmed al‑Sharaa launched a military offensive into Kurdish territory, capturing a large part of the northeast, at a time when the U.S. had already withdrawn its political and military support for the SDF, analysts say. Without Washington in their corner, SDF chief Mazloum Abdi agreed to let his forces be absorbed into the new Syrian army, in a deal Washington now hails as a “profound and historic milestone” toward national reconciliation and stability. The U.S. has long seen the SDF as its main ally in Syria against ISIS; now, it is actively facilitating the group’s integration into the central state, not as an independent power, but as a component of the new regime. The SDF traded its guns and governance for a place at the table, but the exact boundaries of Kurdish rights and representation remain vague. The real question is whether this is a ceasefire, or just the first stage of full assimilation. As the banners change and the lines redraw, the calculation is brutal and clear: Better to rule from within the regime than die alone against it. #Syria#Kurds#SDF#AlSharaa#MiddleEast 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

Syria Reunified, Kurds Liquidated: Trump’s New ‘Stability Product’ Northeastern Syria just got “liberated” — which in local translation means: the flag changed, the poverty stayed, and the Kurds’ decade-long autonomy project was taken out back and shot. President Ahmed al-Sharaa, the ex-rebel with the Islamist past now rebranded as national unifier, has rolled the army into Hasakah, Raqqa and Deir al Zour, chasing out the S.D.F. under the cover of a U.S. policy pivot. On the ground it’s classic postwar Syria: mines, tunnels, blown bridges, blacked-out towns, trash, and people lining up to reconcile with a state they neither trust nor can escape. Former S.D.F. fighters are told to sign up, hand over weapons and get papers; Arab residents cheer the end of Kurdish rule they describe as a police state; Kurdish shop owners talk about confiscated property and blockades; everyone complains about prices. The “unified national project” looks suspiciously like the old centralization game with better PR and an American logo on the top. The Kurds are being offered the usual consolation package: long-denied citizenship, language and cultural rights, some local admin posts — while their armed forces are folded into the Syrian defense and interior ministries. In corporate terms, this is not partnership, it’s a hostile takeover dressed as a merger. Their flags still hang over martyrs’ billboards, their fighters still say they’ll “fight again if needed,” but the real decisions are now made in Damascus and Washington, not in Hasakah assemblies. Meanwhile, Washington sells this as “stability” and “ending endless wars”: Trump drops the loyal S.D.F. — the very force that did the dirty work against ISIS — and backs al-Sharaa as the new “one phone number” for Syria. Turkey is thrilled, Arab notables talk about a “wonderful future” under a united Syria, and Western think tankers write pieces about “transition” while quietly admitting Kurdish autonomy is dead on arrival. ​ So yes, nearly the whole country may soon be under one flag again. The question is brutal and simple: is this “peace,” or just the latest version of the same old Middle Eastern business model — crush your local allies, centralize the guns, and call it a national project until the next rebellion? #syria#kurds#trump#war#autocracy#fakePeace 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

📰 Aleppo’s Kurdish Neighborhoods Fall: Syria’s Fragile Unity Shattered Syrian government forces have seized control of two Kurdish neighborhoods in Aleppo after days of intense clashes with Kurdish-led fighters, marking one of the worst outbreaks of violence since the end of the civil war a year ago. ​ Kurdish fighters from the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) evacuated by bus, with their weapons confiscated. The government declared victory, but the SDF called it a “partial ceasefire” to protect civilians and the wounded. ​ At least 24 civilians were killed and more than 120 injured, with thousands fleeing on foot as schools, government buildings, and the airport shut down. The fighting shattered hopes for national unity, exposing deep divisions among ethnic and religious groups in post-Assad Syria. ​ President Ahmed al-Sharaa’s government has been accused of authoritarianism and failing to win the trust of minorities. Kurdish and Druze regions have resisted integration, demanding autonomy that the government rejects. ​ The clashes ended a fragile agreement to integrate Kurdish forces into the national military, stalled by disagreements and mutual distrust. The U.S. has backed the SDF in the past, but now cooperates with Sharaa’s government to fight Islamic State remnants. ​ So as Aleppo returns to government control, the question remains: Can Syria’s new leaders unite a fractured country—or will violence become the new normal? #Syria#Aleppo#Kurds#Sharaa#civilwar 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

📰 Syria’s Kurds Fold: Government Absorbs Militia After Clashes After weeks of sporadic fighting, Syria’s government and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (S.D.F.) have agreed to a cease-fire and full merger of the militia into the national military. The deal hands the government control of most of the S.D.F.’s former territory, including key dams, oil fields, and border crossings, leaving only Hasakah under Kurdish authority. ​ End of Autonomy The Kurds, Syria’s largest ethnic minority, have long fought for autonomy, establishing their own administration and legal system in the northeast. But recent battlefield losses left them in a weak position, forcing concessions. The government will now run all prisons, including Al-Hol, which holds thousands of Islamic State detainees and their families—a major concern for the U.S.-led coalition. ​ U.S. Caught in the Middle The U.S. has backed both the government and the S.D.F., making this merger a diplomatic headache. While U.S. officials welcome the cease-fire, they worry about losing influence and the fate of the Islamic State prisoners. The new agreement means S.D.F. fighters will join the military as individuals, not as a unified force, further weakening Kurdish leverage. ​ Who Really Wins? For the interim government, the deal consolidates control and access to Syria’s resources. For the Kurds, it’s a major retreat from autonomy. But with ethnic minorities still uneasy and the U.S. watching closely, can this uneasy peace hold—or is it just another chapter in Syria’s endless cycle of power struggles? ​ #Syria#Kurds#SDF#Ceasefire#Damascus#USPolicy#MiddleEast 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸
