The C.I.A. has been providing small weapons to pro-American Iranian Kurdish forces in Iraq as part of a covert program, preparing them for a potential incursion into Iran.

A report indicates that the CIA is working to arm Iranian Kurdish opposition forces, aiming to spark an uprising against the Iranian regime, with a ground operation in Western Iran expected soon.

The CIA is reportedly working to arm Kurdish forces with the aim of inciting a popular uprising in Iran, according to multiple sources familiar with the plan who spoke to CNN.

A mass escape has occurred from Syria's al-Hol camp, which houses families linked to ISIS, following the withdrawal of Kurdish forces. The Syrian government and SDF are blaming each other, with unconfirmed reports suggesting thousands of escapees.

Following the withdrawal of Kurdish forces, over 138 breaches were found in the perimeter of the Al-Hol camp in Syria, leading to a mass escape of jihadist relatives.

Tensions have escalated following a Syrian army offensive, leading Kurdish forces to abandon prisons and some Islamic State terrorists to flee into Iraq. Turkey has pledged to repatriate its citizens linked to ISIS who were detained in Iraq after being transferred from Syrian prisons.

Syrian authorities took control of Qamishli airport, which was previously controlled by Kurdish forces, as part of their integration process into the state, it was reported today.

Despite previously abandoning them, Donald Trump is reportedly seeking assistance from Kurdish fighters to destabilize and overthrow the Iranian regime. The US and Israel have allegedly been preparing for an armed uprising in western Iran, smuggling weapons into the region.

CIA's long history with Kurdish forces could lead to open conflict on ground

After Kurdish forces withdrew from the Syrian al-Hol camp, several thousand people escaped from the camp. Syrian authorities found more than 100 damages to the camp wall, and the number of escapees needs to be determined.

Al Hol, the largest camp for relatives of Islamic State jihadists in Syria, which had been under Kurdish forces' control until late January, is now being closed.

For the Kurdish people, history seems to repeat itself. Kurdish forces are an asset for the West when allies are needed in the region, but left aside when political choices need to be made. The agreement signed at the end of January between Damascus and the Syrian Kurds dealt a blow to the dream of a greater Kurdistan. Our team reports from Syria and Iraq.

Reports emerged that the CIA intends to arm Kurdish forces to instigate an uprising in Iran, a claim that the White House has since denied.

Kurdish forces guarding the Al-Hol camp in Syria were forced to flee due to an attack by the Syrian army, resulting in the escape of thousands of jihadists.

Iraq took in the detainees in an operation arranged with the United States after Kurdish forces retreated and shut down camps and prisons that had housed IS suspects for nearly a decade.

The Syrian central government has reportedly regained control over all of the country's oil resources after driving out Kurdish forces from northeastern Syria. However, the oil wells are in poor condition due to fighting and chaotic extraction.

Thousands of women and children, alleged members of ISIS, have fled facilities in Syria after Kurdish forces lost control of the camps.
