美国和以色列正试图利用自2025年十二日战争以来不断壮大的库尔德武装力量，在伊朗境内煽动武装起义。
据ITV新闻了解，自去年以来，武器已被走私到伊朗西部，用于武装数千名库尔德志愿者。预计他们将在数日内发起地面行动。
近日，美国和以色列多次空袭伊朗西部安全目标，旨在削弱其防御能力，为地面起义创造最佳条件。
库尔德方面消息人士透露，美以两国军队已被要求在任何此类地面行动开始时提供空中掩护。我们的消息来源尚不清楚该请求是否已获批准。
近日，伊朗加大了对库尔德反叛武装控制区的轰炸力度。
本周末，特朗普总统与驻扎在伊拉克北部的伊朗和伊拉克库尔德领导人进行了通话。
通话内容很可能涉及地面起义问题，但通话双方均未就此发表任何评论。
白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特证实，总统已与多个地区伙伴进行了通话。美国官员告诉《华尔街日报》，特朗普总统正在考虑提供支持的请求。
周末，他还分享了一篇《华盛顿邮报》的评论文章，该文章认为美军无需发动地面行动，因为伊朗人民将成为“地面部队”。
然而，鉴于伊朗已加强了在库尔德地区周围的军事存在，并将严厉镇压任何叛乱企图，因此，成功发动起义很可能只是一厢情愿的想法。
伊朗境内约有1000万库尔德人，多年来，数千人曾在山区接受训练。
尽管伊朗库尔德领导人可能更愿意提供支持，但鉴于伊朗对其他支持这场战争的国家的反应，伊拉克库尔德领导人可能会非常谨慎。
此外，库尔德人过去曾被美国利用，之后又被美国抛弃。库尔德人在打击ISIS的斗争中发挥了至关重要的作用，但战争胜利后，美国却放弃了他们原本期望的支持。
The United States and Israel are seeking to foment an armed uprising inside Iran using an armed Kurdish fighting force, which has been built up since the twelve-day war in 2025.
ITV News understands that since last year, weapons have been smuggled into Western Iran to arm thousands of Kurdish volunteers. They are expected to begin a ground operation within days.
In recent days, American and Israeli strikes have repeatedly struck security targets in the West of the country to degrade their capabilities and give the best chance for the ground rebellion.
We have been told by Kurdish sources that American and Israeli forces have been asked to provide air cover when any such ground operation begins. Our sources do not know if that request has been approved.
In recent days Iran has increased its bombing of Kurdish rebel areas.
This weekend, President Trump has spoken to Iranian and Iraqi Kurdish leaders based in Northern Iraq.
It is likely those conversations raised the issue of a ground rebellion, no one involved in the calls have spoken about them.
Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary confirmed the President had spoken many regional partners. US officials told the Wall Street Journal that President Trump was considering requests to provide support.
At the weekend he also shared a Washington Post opinion article which suggested that there is no need for US forces to mount a ground operation as the Iranian people will be “the boots on the ground”.
A successful uprising may well be wishful thinking however, given how Iran has fortified its military presence around the Kurdish areas and would crack down hard on any attempt to rebel.
There are around ten million Kurds within Iran, and thousands have passed through training in the mountains over many years.
Whilst there may be a greater willingness to support from Iranian Kurdish leaders, it is likely there will be huge caution from Iraqi Kurdish leaders given the Iranian response on other nations which have supported the war so far.
Furthermore, the Kurds have been used by the United States in the past and then abandoned. The Kurds were critical to the fight against ISIS only to find the USA walked away from the support they had expected once that war was won.
