As Iran sinks, the Kurdish star must rise
In all the strategy we’ve seen over Iran, support for a new Kurdish state would be the ultimate masterstroke.

As America prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, the air in New York feels different. We aren’t just looking back at 1776; we are watching the world’s most dangerous regime finally hit a brick wall.
The war to dismantle the Islamic Republic of Iran is a necessity. For decades, Tehran operated on a trifecta of terror: nuclear extortion, ballistic missile expansion, and a genocidal obsession with erasing Israel from the map. But the “Beautiful Hurricane” that is Donald Trump saw what the diplomats wouldn’t. He understood that you don’t negotiate with a regime whose central organizing principle is the industry of hate. Yes, hate and evil. Thus, by backing Israel’s right to total victory, he started the cure for the region.

A weakened Iran, stripped of its “IRGC teeth,” would create a power vacuum that should be filled by those who have actually fought our common enemies. Supporting an independent Kurdish state — carved from Kurdish majority regions in northwestern collapsing Iran and neighboring areas in northern Iraq, northeastern Syria, and southeastern Turkey — would be the ultimate strategic masterstroke. (These regions could first exist as autonomous entities within their countries, as is already the case in Iraq, with a concrete plan for eventual unification.) A sovereign Kurdistan would be a natural ally to the U.S. and Israel, serving as a democratic buffer against whatever radicalism tries to rise from the Iranian rubble.
Imagine a region where the “Ring of Fire” around Israel is replaced by a “Circle of True Friends.”
Commentary:
First article I've read that speaks so strongly on the subject. First introduced by one senator Joe Biden. It would lead to more fighting. All 4 countries would try to nip it in the bud-too much to lose. Continued fighting amongst Muslims has been good for the west but Trump's actions against Iran could move the needle. Sunni/Sharia conflicts continue but their one commonality id the destruction of Israel.
Would TĂĽrkiye accept this? Doubtful!!
A Kurdish independent state carved out of western Iran is totally unacceptable to Turkey and would be a causus belli to the Turks. That is why when the Kurds offered to aid in regime change in Iran, Trump had to refuse them so as not to precipitate a wider war involving Turkey. Israel views this time as a golden opportunity to destroy an existential threat to its existence. The Kurds also view this as a unique opportunity to fulfill their dream of a Kurdistan.
