Iranian Kurdish militias have reportedly consulted with the United States about a potential military operation against Iran's security forces in the western part of the country. The goal would be to create room for Iranians opposed to the Islamic regime to rise up following the recent U.S.-Israeli attack. A final decision has not yet been made on the potential operation. The forces are in talks with the US about CIA help to provide weapons, according to three sources. The CIA declined to comment on the involvement of the groups and the potential ground operation. It is unclear how successful the Iranian Kurdish groups would be in their fight inside Iran. An uprising by the Iranian Kurds could threaten Iran's stability and potentially fuel an armed separatist movement among its ethnic Baluch minority.
