"The United States and Iran are preparing to finalise a peace deal that would
end their war – at least for the time being – as well as Israel’s bombing of
Lebanon.
Many key details remain to be negotiated, including the future of Iran’s
nuclear program. Another issue that remains uncertain – how the deal will
impact the Kurdish minority in northern Iran.
The United States and Israel have failed to achieve the main goal of their war:
overthrowing the Islamic regime in Tehran. US President Donald Trump is now
under pressure to end the war as quickly as possible – and answer for its
failures.
Instead, in recent days, he has reiterated an allegation the US sent weapons to
the Kurds in the early days of the war to help overthrow the regime. Trump
claims the Kurds kept the weapons for themselves.
The Kurds let us down […] I think it’s a disgrace, but I’ll remember that,
Kurds.
For the Kurds, this is not surprising. This kind of rhetoric follows a
historical trend. Washington has long promised the Kurds support in exchange
for their help in Syria and Iraq, only to abandon them later."
