Mar 08, 2026

Baghdad [Iraq], March 8: The leader of an Iranian Kurdish nationalist group based in northern Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdish region has told Al Jazeera that it is "highly likely" that Iranian Kurds will stage a cross-border ground operation into Iran. Babasheikh Hosseini, the secretary-general of the Khabat Organisation of Iranian Kurdistan, said on Friday that there was no operation "at this point" but the United States had made contact with the group and it was considering a campaign. "We have been planning for a long time, and now that conditions are more favourable, there is a strong probability of action," Hosseini told Al Jazeera from the Kurdish region. (Agencies)
