Iranian Kurdish groups
VS
Iran
Iranian Kurdish groups based in Iraq have faced repeated attacks from Iran, including drone and missile strikes, amid broader regional tensions.
The debate centers on whether these groups receive external support, particularly from the United States, and what implications such backing would have.
While most groups deny receiving US assistance, the possibility of US and Israeli involvement remains a point of contention.
The conflict is rooted in the Kurds' status as Iran's third-largest ethnic group and their calls for greater autonomy and democratic reforms.
