A senior Iranian military commander warned Friday that any violation of Iran's sovereignty by Kurdish groups would prompt the establishment of a security buffer zone several kilometers deep beyond Iran's borders, according to reports.
An Iranian military commander, whose identity and exact rank were not specified in the report, warned Friday that any violation of Iran's sovereignty by Kurdish groups would be met with the establishment of a security buffer zone several kilometers deep beyond Iran's borders. The statement, attributed to a single source, reflects the ongoing tensions between Iran and Kurdish opposition groups operating in the region.
The threat comes amid a broader backdrop of Iranian rhetoric against Kurdish groups. As The Zioneer reported on June 11, President Trump accused Kurdish groups of seizing weapons meant for Iranian protesters. In recent weeks, Iranian officials have issued multiple warnings about perceived threats to Iran's sovereignty and have threatened military responses.
It remains unclear whether the commander's remarks represent a new operational directive or a continuation of existing policy. No further details about the timing or location of the statement were provided.
