Almost every war in the region ends with the Kurds being asked to support intl alliances. The irony is that the same intl system appears structured to deny Kurds meaningful recognition. Sth is clearly wrong with this system. Sth is also clearly wrong with Kurdish forces.

The U.S. is planning to activate Kurdish forces if needed to enter Iran. We must reject this. The U.S. must have guarantees not just for “Kurdish rights”, but for a Kurdish state. Anything less, we must not get involved, we have lost too many of our brothers in wars for others where at the end we are betrayed.

Kurds will not participate in the overthrow of the Iranian government in the absence of written Balfour. The policies and actions of Tom Barrack in Syria and Iraq are completely anti-Kurdish. #PENTAGON #Iran #USA #Potus

Time after time, Kurds were treated as a tool in Iraq, then left to pay the price. In Syria, they bled for a deal that empowered a former al-Qaeda figure. Now it looks like the same play may be coming in Iran. Recognize independent Kurdistan with protection if Kurdish help is needed.

The most pressing issue for the Kurds is the US wishes for the Kurds to become active participants in the war against the Iranian regime and its proxies in Iraq. What must be said first: the Kurdish factions shall make their decisions; they know the regime and its capabilities. We as the Kurdish community should not pressure our forces to partake in a war that we can’t win. The Kurds are being offered what the USA has always offered the Kurds: A transactional alliance. Kurdish forces will be armed, *trained* and they will be given the opportunity to call in air support when possible/needed. It is very similar to the war against the Islamic State - this similarity however may become the reason for why the Kurdish factions will not partake in this war like the USA wishes - even as we will inevitably become part of this war. 1. The war against the Islamic State taught us that the partners in the war will seek to work with a different partner as soon as a different partner becomes feasible. In Iraq, the USA prioritised arming the PMF over arming the Peshmerga - in Syria they prioritised arming the *FSA* over arming the YPG Especially in regards to arming military factions it must be highlighted that both the SDF/YPG and the Peshmerga received less arms and less modern equipment as the other factions in the conflict-region - even as the other factions declared their hostility towards the USA/EU before forging the alliance. 2. As conditions on the ground change, so do the conditions of the alliance. Guarantees become non-binding agreements only under ideal conditions. 3. Blame will be sought within the Kurdish factions to not uphold pre-agreed upon terms. The Kurds received extraordinary backlash for liberating Raqqah and Deirezzor from the Islamic state or for defending Kirkuk against the Islamic State - as soon as another potential partner emerged or more valuable regional powers interfered, Kurds were dropped without a second thought. In short: It will not matter what the USA promises or guarantees to the Kurds every transactional alliance with them has proven to be binding for us but non-binding for them. Or as US envoy Tom Barrack has said *The Kurds served their purpose, it was a transactional alliance and the USA didn’t promise the Kurds anything* The big miscalculation of the USA and other actors was to believe that the events involving Kurds in the KRG and Rojava will not have direct consequences on how the Kurds perceive the USA in other parts of Kurdistan, such as Rojhelat. However, every Kurd must acknowledge the reality that the war - in which we sit right in the middle of - will inevitably pull us in; even if we were to stay neutral. So the question should move away from “should we enter the war” and instead we must raise the question of “when would the conditions be ideal to enter the war” Kurds are faced with the choices A) Fight the Iranian regime now while its military capabilities are evidently still intact B) Fight the Iranian regime at its weakest point in the future In both cases we will end up with the same outcome - and the USA has proven to us that there will be no *rewards* for being overly committed to aiding the USA in achieving their objectives.

What the Kurds in Iran need to conduct an uprising against the Islamic regime: ▪️Written and signed guarantee of military protection from U.S. and Israel ▪️Internationally recognized autonomous region, Rojhelat, East Kurdistan, northwest Iran if not complete independence ▪️Advanced weapons to take on the regime and Shiite proxies ▪️A written NATO guarantee that Turkey will be restrained and not interfere in Rojhelat under any circumstances ▪️Whatever happens in Tehran, Kurds will retain their gains and autonomy ▪️Complete safe skies, U.S., Israel must implement a no fly zone (NFZ) ▪️Protection of Kurdish leadership in Iran and abroad ▪️Open borders between the autonomous Kurdistan Region and the newly autonomous Rojhelat ▪️Kurds recognized by the U.S. as special allies for their efforts ▪️Economic opportunities with the U.S., Israel, Europe ▪️Complete recognition of Kurdish territory, language, cultural rights by Tehran ▪️Guarantees that Kurds in Syria and Iraq will not be negatively impacted by Turkey and other states/proxies that are opposed the newly recognized autonomous Kurdish region in Iran ▪️Kurds have a guaranteed seat at the table in all future negotiations that impact them What the Kurds don’t need: ▪️To be used and disposed like in Syria ▪️Betrayed for Tehran down the road ▪️Give into the demands of the Turks Cc: @POTUS @SecRubio @SecWar

American policy in Iran is to encourage Kurds to overthrow the country's government; after the uprising is over, Tom Barrack arrives and informs them that we need a unified, powerful, central Iran that retains its Persian identity. #kurd #Iran

@XMonetization_ Hello, It is excellent news.

Simple questions: Why do 5 million Palestinians have the "right" to a state, but not 40-60 million freedom-seeking #Kurds? Why are there endless marches & protests for Palestinians, but not Kurds? Why is the UN obsessed with Palestinians, but doesn't give a damn about Kurds?

.@RepBrianMast: Syrians are desperate to turn the page after years of crisis under Assad. Unfortunately, Syria is still far from where it needs to be today. The United States requires actions from President al-Sharaa, rather than empty words.

🔴#SavetheKurdsAct The US Senate will vote on guaranteeing Kurdish rights. It is very important that everyone participates in the hashtag campaign that has started in Rojava kurdistan. @LindseyGrahamSC

IN CONGRESS today to support the “Save the Kurds” Act. Kurdish-American community members and US supporters visited a large number of Congressional offices today and had many productive conversations about the #SaveTheKurds Act introduced by @LindseyGrahamSC and @SenBlumenthal. One thing is certain. Most US Congressmembers do not want to see the US reverse its substantial progress in fighting and defeating ISIS, alongside the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), and will not condone the new Damascus government slaughtering a US partner force or the people of Northeast Syria / Rojava. #SaveTheKurdsAct #Rojava #DefendRojava #DefendKurds

@MohammedASalih @PollaGarmiany If they stop stealing, others will follow suit.

Over the past weeks, with the onset of genocide against the Kurdish people in Rojava, northern Syria, I have been acting through every means at my disposal. As someone who believes deeply in human rights, justice, and the moral responsibility of the international community, I cannot stand by in silence while a people face systematic killing, displacement, and destruction. One of the most important and effective tools available to us at this critical moment is signing a public petition calling on U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham to take action—by advancing legislation and using his full influence to help stop the killing, violence, and forced displacement of the Kurdish people from their homeland. This is an urgent call for political, moral, and humanitarian action—one that has the potential to save lives. The Kurdish people have, time and again, demonstrated extraordinary courage, resilience, and loyalty in the fight against extremist terrorism, paying a heavy price in blood. Silence from the free world at this decisive moment would represent a grave moral failure. Signing this petition sends a clear message: we will not accept genocide, we will not tolerate forced displacement, and we will not abandon those facing existential danger. I urge you—please sign the petition, share it widely, and join the growing international call to stop the ongoing crimes against the Kurdish people in Rojava. Every signature matters. Every voice counts. The petition was created and is led by Jihan Brifki Advisor, Kurdistani Diaspora Confederation – United States & Canada 🔗 Petition link: c.org/Q5phNmThbD Yehuda Ben Yosef President of the Kurdish Community in Israel

During the Holocaust, 6 million Jews were systematically led to their deaths in gas chambers, on death marches, and during brutal executions at the hands of the Nazis and their accomplices. Today, we remember all the lives stolen by the Nazi killing machine so that we can truly make 'Never Again' mean something.

#Syria: In a joint statement, 🇩🇪🇫🇷🇬🇧🇺🇸 call upon all parties to strictly adhere to the ceasefire and to exercise their utmost restraint. We urge all external parties to join us in pursuit of peace and de-escalation of violence. Full statement 👉 diplo.de/2753604

I believe Mr. Graham's solution could protect Kurds from Jollani and Islamist extremists in Syria. It will avoid the same scenario that occurred to Druze.

Watching the deteriorating situation in Syria with great concern. The Kurds are under threat from the new Syrian government that is aligned with Turkey. It would be a disaster for America’s reputation and national security interests to abandon the Kurds, who were the chief ally

I call for EU, USA, NATO to recognize, defend Rojava Republic to be established and recognized East of the Euphrates River #ExSyria @POTUS @vonderleyen @SecGenNATO @kajakallas RojavaRepublic is our Ally

In Syria, Kurds and Arabs are not fighting. In Syria, secular, liberal, and freedom-loving people are fighting against jihadist, religious, bigoted, reactionary barbarians. #DefendRojava #RojavadaKatliamvar
