According to a single unverified report, the Iranian 'Takavar' special forces unit conducted 14 missions inside Iraqi Kurdistan, reportedly killing various leaders of Kurdish opposition groups. No further details on the timing or the specific leaders targeted have been provided.
The report of the 'Takavar' unit's activities adds to a pattern of Iranian operations targeting Kurdish opposition groups based in northern Iraq. As The Zioneer has documented, the IRGC and other Iranian units have repeatedly struck Kurdish bases with ballistic missiles and suicide drones, and have conducted ground operations through the 65th Division. The specific designation of the 'Takavar' unit — a term indicating special forces — and the claim of 14 missions in a single reported timeframe suggest a concentrated effort. However, the report is single-sourced and lacks independent verification. No details on the timing of the missions or the identities of the eliminated leaders have been provided.
