This is moving very fast, and even though the White House claimed there will be no ground war (yet), Trump is looking for a few good proxies to use to bring down the Islamic Republic.
“The CIA is working to arm Kurdish forces with the aim of fomenting a popular uprising in Iran, multiple people familiar with the plan told CNN,” fresh late Tuesday reports say. “The Trump administration has been in active discussions with Iranian opposition groups and Kurdish leaders in Iraq about providing them with military support, the sources said.”

Hours ago we published: Trump Floats Backing Anti-Tehran Insurgency As Alternative To US Boots On Ground. What groups would be willing to work with the US against Tehran? It already appears clear that the White House lacks understanding of the internal dynamics of Iran, and has woefully underestimated how things would go after killing the Ayatollah.
Apart from the Kurds, there’s also historic Sunni minority populations along the southwest border regions of Iran. This would potentially mean the US once again backing Sunni Al Qaeda insurgents, as it did in Syria. Another top contender, probably already involved in the war via the Mossad and CIA, is the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK) – based largely outside of Iran.
On the Kurds, CNN notes:
Iranian Kurdish armed groups have thousands of forces operating along the Iraq-Iran border, primarily in Iraq’s Kurdistan region. Several of the groups have released public statements since the beginning of the war hinting at imminent action and urging Iranian military forces to defect. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has been striking Kurdish groups and said on Tuesday that it targeted Kurdish forces with dozens of drones.
This invites possible Turkish cross-border intervention in the north, given Turkey has long warned against any and all Kurdish armed insurgencies.
