There are reports of strikes against Iranian Kurdish rebels in Iraq, with some outlets suggesting that Turkey may have played a role in preventing Kurdish groups from joining a potential conflict with Iran. Kurdish rebel groups are reportedly wary of Iran's next move, and there is a risk of a new war front emerging amid rising Kurdish attacks. The situation is part of a broader context of instability in the Middle East, where proxy forces are being used by various countries, including Iran, Israel, and the US.
