Iran president orders decisive crackdown on any Kurdish incursion

Mar 5, 2026, 20:13 GMT+0

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian ordered security forces to deal decisively with what he described as separatist activity, shortly after US President Donald Trump said he would welcome a Kurdish offensive into Iran.

“The governor and the armed forces responsible for security are obliged to deal decisively with any separatist activity,” Pezeshkian wrote on X, adding: “I thank the proud and honorable people of Kurdistan who have stood by Iran during these historic days.”
