Kurdish fighters say they would join US ground invasion of Iran Iranian Kurdish dissident fighters based in northern Iraq say they are not preparing an immediate cross-border attack on Iran, but would take part in a US-led ground invasion if one were launched. Officials from the Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK) told the Associated Press their forces would fight alongside coalition troops in such a scenario, though they said Kurdish groups should not serve as the “spearhead” of the operation. Khalil Nadiri, a PAK official, said the group also has armed members inside Iran who could potentially join an uprising.
