Syrian Kurds Warn Iranian Kurds: Don't Ally with the US – “Washington May Abandon You”

Syrian Kurds are warning Iranian Kurds not to ally with the United States, expressing fears that Washington may abandon them, as it did with the Kurds in Syria. This warning comes amid reports that armed Kurdish groups in Iran are being encouraged by the US for a possible attack on Iran. Syrian Kurds cite their own experience as an example of the US’s unreliable stance, emphasizing that Washington may abandon its allies when its interests are no longer served. Iranian Kurds have sought guarantees from the US, but remain cautious. This warning reflects the historical distrust of Kurds towards foreign powers and the need for autonomy and self-determination. The situation in the region is complex and the involvement of the US and Israel adds new elements of uncertainty.
