The US and Israel's war with Iran is entering its fifth day and has caused significant damage to multiple US military facilities in the Middle East. US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth stated that the operation against Iran is still in its early days and plans to accelerate military efforts. A senior Kurdish Regional Government official in Erbil, Iraq, expressed fears about possible retaliatory strikes if their territory is used as a launch pad for a ground offensive into Western Iran. The Trump administration is also considering supporting Iranian Kurdish forces in Iraq to counterbalance Iran.
