BREAKING: Thousands of Iraqi Kurdish fighters have reportedly launched a major ground offensive across Iran’s western frontier, marking one of the largest cross-border incursions in years.

Columns of armed pickups, artillery units, and militia forces linked to Kurdish groups have pushed several kilometers into Iranian territory, targeting positions associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Iranian intelligence units accused of carrying out years of repression and cross-border raids.

The clashes are said to be unfolding near the mountainous frontier between Iran and Iraqi Kurdistan, a region long marked by tensions between Kurdish armed groups and Iranian security forces. Kurdish fighters claim the operation aims to strike military infrastructure used for attacks against Kurdish communities across the border.

Iranian authorities have not yet released a full official response, but regional observers warn the escalation could rapidly expand if Tehran deploys additional forces to the border. The situation remains fluid as reports continue to emerge from the front lines.
