Iran Drone Strike Targets Iranian-Kurdish Group in Iraqi Kurdistan
π― KURDISTAN β Tehran is bombing its exiled opposition while signaling it wants a deal. π LOOK CLOSER: IRGC drone strikes on Kurdish groups in Iraq are a recurring instrument β but timing against active diplomacy signals Khamenei hardliners asserting control. These groups (KDPI, Komala) are domestic threats, not Hormuz actors. Erbil can't retaliate; Baghdad won't. It expands Iran's operational footprint into Iraq with zero cost, while Pezeshkian's negotiating credibility takes another hit.
