Report Claims Turkey Blocked Planned Kurdish Incursion Into Iran

An Israeli media report claims Turkey pressured the United States to halt a planned Kurdish military incursion into Iran during the recent Israel-US conflict.

According to the report, Kurdish fighters had been preparing for months with alleged support that included military training and weapons transfers. The operation was reportedly cancelled after Ankara warned Washington against backing Kurdish forces, citing concerns over regional security.

The report also alleges that Turkish officials learned of the planned operation through information shared with Ankara, prompting diplomatic efforts to stop it. Turkey has long opposed Kurdish armed groups operating in the region and views any expansion of their influence near its borders as a major security threat.

The report further claims the planned operation was part of broader efforts to increase pressure on Iran during the conflict. However, the allegations have not been independently verified, and neither US nor Turkish officials have publicly confirmed the claims. Meanwhile, tensions between Israel and Turkey continue to grow over regional influence and security issues.
