The Trump administration contacted Kurdish leaders in Iran and Iraq, seeking support in efforts to weaken the Iranian government.
Modern.az reports that, according to the "Washington Post" publication, Trump offered American air support and other assistance if Iranian Kurdish groups attempted to seize control of some territories in western Iran.
Reports indicate that Trump told Kurdish leaders they must choose a side, either with the US and Israel or with Iran.
With the escalation of the conflict with Tehran and Washington considering deeper military intervention, American officials are exploring the possibility of forming an alliance with Iran's internal opposition.
