Kurdish fighters have reportedly launched a ground invasion of Iran as they seek to topple the Iranian regime, according to reports.
Thousands of soldiers have taken position in Iran as part of a military offensive, after being secretly armed by the US, sources say.
Ground Offensive Reported
An official, cited by Israeli network I24, claimed fighters began taking combat positions inside Iranian territory on Monday and have moved into the southern mountains of Marivan in western Iran.
The US and Israel are thought to be seeking an armed uprising and have been smuggling weapons to Kurdish volunteers since last year.
Between four and seven US-Israeli helicopters reportedly conducted an airdrop in the Najaf desert, Iraq, on Wednesday.
A Kurdish Iranian dissident group based in northern Iraq said some of their forces had lined up by the Iranian border, in Sulaymaniyah province, on standby.
Khalil Nadiri, an official with the Kurdistan Freedom Party, said Kurdish opposition group leaders had been contacted by US officials regarding a potential operation.
Hezbollah Vows Resistance
The developments come as Hezbollah has vowed not to surrender “no matter the sacrifices” as it continues to retaliate against Israel for the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The Iranian-backed terror group has been launching missiles and drones at Israel since Sunday, prompting Israeli responses.
Lebanon’s president Joseph Aoun announced a ban on Hezbollah’s military activity, calling it a “sovereign and final decision.” However, Naim Qassem, the head of the Iranian proxy force, claimed the group will not surrender.
Qassem stated, “We are facing aggression… our choice is to confront it until the ultimate sacrifice, and we will not surrender.”
