00:00So I would say that it's not guaranteed, but it's starting to look increasingly likely that the Kurds will join.
00:09And I doubt, though, that they are we're going to step in unless they've got certain assurances from the U
00:15.S.
00:16because they have been burnt in their dealings before with the U.S., which I know Shane is going to
00:19talk about later as well.
00:22Now, there are sources saying that the CIA has actually been in contact with Kurdish leaders for several months now.
00:29And that the CIA does maintain an outpost in Iraq, in the Kurdish area of Iraq.
00:35So there has been that constant contact and there has been contact in the U.S. and political figures.
00:40And as you said, Trump, as recently said, I'd be all for it with regards to a Kurdish offensive in
00:46Iran.
00:46I think very much they're looking at the Kurds being the boots on the ground.
00:52You know, America is going to provide the firepower.
00:54They're the ships and the drones and the aircraft.
00:57And the Kurds will be, you know, the you know, the on the ground there.
01:02So you've got fighters from two main groups here, which is the Kurdistan Freedom Party, PAK and Kamala.
01:09And there are reports that they have actually moved closer to the Iranian border.
01:13You're most likely to see these insurgents coming across the border.
01:18And there with the intention of there's about four, four ways this could go.
01:22Now, they might operate on Iran's Kurdish northwest, Iran's Kurdish northwest, which would open a new front, as we were
01:29saying.
01:30They might be the ones to take on the Iranian security forces to kind of pin them down, distract them.
01:36And while, you know, the uprising from the protests that we've seen as well, you know, so it kind of
01:41frees those guys up.
01:42This organic movement they've been talking about.
01:44Yeah.
01:45You're looking at sowing chaos in the region as well, chaos and dissent.
01:49And you're also looking at the fact that they might hold territory in the northern part of Iran, which would
01:53act as a buffer for Israel.
01:55So there are quite a few scenarios where the Kurdish could come in and effect quite big change in this
02:02war.
