【US and Israel Attack Iran, Ground Forces Emerge!】 In the latest White House briefing, a reporter asked spokesperson Caroline Levitt: "It has been reported that the Trump administration is considering arming Kurdish forces in an attempt to incite an uprising among the Iranian people. What is your comment on this report?"

Levitt: "The President has had multiple calls with partners, allies, and leaders in the Middle East. He did discuss the issue of our bases in northern Iraq with Kurdish leaders. However, any report implying that the President has approved such a plan is completely wrong and should not be reported."

All sides have noticed the Kurds in the northwest of Iran near the border with Iraq.

Whether this Iranian Kurdish armed force will launch an attack soon, breaking through the internal fortress of the Iranian regime, could become a crucial factor in tipping the balance of the war.

For many years, a considerable number of Kurds have fled Iran and have been living in the Iraqi Kurdistan region.

If they return to Iran during the chaos, they would be invaluable support for the US and Israel, and may also become a key ground force.

The Kurdish armed force is called peshmerga in Persian, which literally means "those who face death," meaning people ready to die, with such courage.

Using these people as a force to launch a ground attack within Iran is also a choice based on a deep understanding of Iran's social contradictions.

The CIA and Israel have long planned to arm Kurdish forces, inciting uprisings within Iran, launching ground operations, and achieving a coordinated effort from within and outside.

The Kurds see the United States as their savior. Without Americans, the Kurds, caught between four countries—Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey—would have been wiped out many times over.

The Kurds are also another wedge for the United States in the Middle East.

In the US's military actions in the Middle East, the Kurds have always provided assistance and convenience without hesitation.

In the "Twelve-Day War" and this strike, the Kurdish region has provided channels and support for Israeli aircraft to refuel.

Another ground force is the potential defectors from the Iranian military, especially the regular army, which, due to its legacy from the era of the old king, is considered less loyal and holds a lower status than the Revolutionary Guard Corps in Iran, like second-class soldiers.

The Revolutionary Guard Corps has significantly better weapons and loyalty than the regular army. If the regular army can be turned, they could turn their guns against the Revolutionary Guard Corps, making the situation in Iran truly dangerous.

Naturally, the possibility of Trump sending US ground forces into Iran is not zero, but it would be done with great caution. It would only happen when Iran is already in a dire situation, and US ground forces enter to reap the benefits. For example, eliminating highly symbolic targets. As was the case in Baghdad Square, where Saddam's statue was toppled; it had to be done by Americans present and the Iraqis themselves toppling the statue, a carefully designed move.
