Trump considers using Kurdish forces against Iran, alarming Turkey

newsbomb.gr (Greek)

Donald Trump is reportedly considering using Kurdish forces as a strategic asset against Iran. This follows US and Israeli airstrikes targeting Iran. The Wall Street Journal reported Trump's openness to supporting Iranian "militias." This aligns with Axios revelations of Trump's direct calls to Iraqi Kurdish leaders, Masoud Barzani and Bafel Talabani, on March 1, 2026. These developments have alarmed Turkey, fearing a domino effect on its own Kurdish population. Iran responded with drone strikes on Kurdish opposition camps in northern Iraq on March 3, 2026.
