Pro-American, Iranian Kurdish forces based in Iraq are preparing armed units that could enter Iran, creating a potential new front in an already expanding conflict, according to Iraqi officials and senior members of Iranian Kurdish groups.

The C.I.A. has previously given small arms to the Iranian Kurdish forces as part of a covert program to destabilize Iran, an effort that began before the current war, according to people familiar with the effort.

Any U.S. effort to assist the Kurds in beginning an incursion into Iran, or any sort of insurgency there, would be a surprising twist in the war. The United States has a long history of working with Kurdish militia forces in Iraq and Syria.

Then we'll abandon them...again.

Right? I'm astonished any of them would give the time of day after what was done to them
