The administration of President Donald Trump is evaluating a decisive strategy to weaken the Iranian regime by supporting opposing Kurdish forces, in a move that could significantly alter the internal balance in Iran and accelerate an eventual popular uprising against the terrorist regime in Tehran.
According to various sources, the Central Intelligence Agency (in English, CIA) is in active talks with Kurdish leaders in Iraq and with Iranian opposition groups to provide military support as part of a broader strategy aimed at pressuring the regime from multiple fronts.
Iranian Kurdish militias have thousands of fighters deployed along the Iraq-Iran border with military experience fighting ISIS.
Among them is the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (KDPI), whose leader, Mustafa Hijri, recently held a conversation with Trump, according to Kurdish sources.
One of the central ideas under discussion is that Kurdish forces could reduce the regime's ability to quell civil protests in urban centers.

Any arms supply would need the support of Iraqi Kurdish authorities, underscoring the importance of Trump's talks with regional leaders.
From the perspective of the White House, this strategy responds to a clear principle: to confront the Iranian regime not only through economic and diplomatic pressure, but also by exploiting its internal vulnerabilities. Supporting organized opposition forces represents a legitimate tool within the range of foreign policy options, especially in the face of a government that has been singled out for its internal repression and its destabilizing
activity in the region.
In a context of increasing confrontation, the decision to explore supporting Kurdish forces reflects the Trump administration's determination to adopt a proactive and strategic stance. If executed with coordination and clear objectives, the initiative could become a turning point in international pressure on Tehran and a historic opportunity for internal change in
