Turkey says PJAK militants threaten Iran and regional stability Turkey says it is closely monitoring the activities of the Kurdish militant group PJAK, warning that its operations risk undermining Iran’s security and wider regional stability. Officials in Ankara made the remarks on Thursday amid reports that Iranian Kurdish armed groups have held discussions with the United States about the ongoing US-Israeli war on Iran. According to sources cited earlier this week, Iranian Kurdish militias have consulted with Washington on whether - and how - they might target Iranian security forces in the country’s western regions, Reuters reported.
