US Strikes Hit Iran's Kurdistan Region, Expanding Campaign Northwest
🗺️ KURDISTAN — Strikes reach Iran's Kurdish northwest; the target map just shifted. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Previous strikes clustered in Gulf coast (Bandar Abbas, Mahshahr), Ilam border, and Tehran. Kurdistan sits in Iran's northwest — ethnically distinct, strategically adjacent to Iraq's Kurdish region and Turkey. Hitting here signals CENTCOM is no longer targeting maritime and command nodes alone. It opens a politically volatile front where Kurdish populations straddle multiple borders.
