Türkiye has signaled it could launch a military intervention in northern Iraq similar to its operations in Syria if Kurdish militants join ground fighting inside Iran, Turkish sources said. The warning targets fighters from the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and its Iranian affiliate, the Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK), should they take part in operations in western Iran, allegedly with Israeli backing. Since US and Israeli strikes on Iran began on February 28, Ankara has warned multiple parties against plans to deploy Kurdish militants in the conflict, the sources said.
