1 minute read

Iran's intelligence ​ministry said ​that it targeted posts of "separatist groups" who intended to ​enter ‌through ⁠western borders, adding that ‌they sustained heavy losses.

Iranian Kurdish militias ⁠have consulted with the US in ​recent days about ‌whether, and how, to attack Iran's security forces ‌in the western part ​of the country, France 24 reported citing three sources with knowledge ​of the matter.

The ​Iranian ministry ​statement, which was carried by ​state media, said Iranian forces are cooperating with "noble Kurds" to thwart the "Israeli-American" ⁠plan to attack Iranian soil.

The U.S. and Israel launched what they described as a pre-emptive strike against Iran on February 28, claiming that Tehran was developing a nuclear weapon and posing a threat—an allegation Iran has denied. In response, Iran launched counterattacks, firing missiles and drones at Israel, as well as at U.S. assets and other targets across the Middle East.
