Amid discussions of a possible Kurdish front against Iran, history reveals why Kurdish groups remain deeply cautious about Washington’s intentions. The relationship has been marked by strategic cooperation and repeated disappointment—from the 1991 Gulf War, when the US encouraged Kurdish uprising against Saddam Hussein only to leave them vulnerable to brutal repression, to the 2003 Iraq invasion where Kurdish Peshmerga fighters fought alongside US forces but never achieved an independent state. Security analysts discuss whether regime change in Iran can be achieved through airstrikes alone or will require ground operations. Experts note that while Iran’s ballistic missile and naval capabilities have been significantly degraded—with reports indicating 90% of missile strike capabilities destroyed—the regime still maintains asymmetric warfare tools including low-tech drones and potential terrorism capabilities. Analysts emphasize that successful regime change depends on the Farsi population in Tehran rising up, rather than relying solely on peripheral ethnic groups. There is debate over whether time constraints will affect the operation’s success.
