The United States’ potential attempt to involve Kurdish forces in a military operation against Iran could end in disaster, according to commentators from The American Conservative (TAC).

In their analysis, the authors warn that a ground invasion launched from Iraq would likely prolong the conflict and lead to a higher number of casualties. Such a scenario, they argue, could also cause the confrontation to spread beyond its current boundaries and pull additional regions into the fighting.

The article notes that the move could trigger serious disagreements within NATO. One of the key factors is the position of Turkey, which has its own strategic interests in the region and maintains certain contacts with Tehran. The involvement of Kurdish forces, the authors suggest, could also ignite new ethnic tensions.

According to the publication, backing a Kurdish incursion from Iraq is unlikely to change the outcome of a potential war. Instead, the analysts describe the idea as reckless, warning that it could drag Iraq and other countries into the conflict while further destabilizing both the region and Iran.

Earlier, Western media reported that the White House had considered supporting Iranian Kurdish groups, including providing air cover if they attempted to take control of parts of western Iran. However, on March 8, during a conversation with reporters, U. S. President Donald Trump stated that he does not support the involvement of Kurdish forces in the conflict.
