00:00Reza, just how much of a threat do Iraqi Kurds pose to the Iranian regime?
00:08From Tehran's viewpoint, they've been a long-running threat, these armed separate
00:13troops across the border in Iraq. And when reports emerged yesterday, mostly from U.S.
00:21networks, that there was an incursion, the foreign ministry immediately said that this is another
00:27indication that the U.S. forces, Israeli forces want to violate the sovereignty of Iran and so
00:34chaos. And that's why you saw over the past 24 hours, Iranian forces launching missiles and drones
00:41targeting those separatist bases to seemingly degrade their capabilities. But after the
00:48initial reports that perhaps there was an incursion, we spoke to sources across the border
00:53and they've come out and said there's been absolutely no indication that these separatist
00:57forces have made an incursion into Iranian territory. But certainly that's a front where people are going
01:05to keep an eye on in the next coming days.
