Iraq's First Lady Tells U.S: Leave Us Alone, This Is Not Our War (Photos)

As 🇺🇸 Washington and 🇮🇱 Tel Aviv accelerate efforts to recruit the Kurdish for a ground offensive against Iran, Iraq's First Lady Shanaz Ibrahim Ahmed issued a sharp public rebuke on Thursday, declaring that Kurds will not serve as disposable proxies for foreign powers.

"Leave us Kurds alone. We are not guns for hire," Ahmed said in a formal press statement released from her office in Sulaymaniyah.

The message amounted to the most prominent public objection from within Iraq's political establishment to the growing international pressure on Kurdish communities to take up arms in a war not of their making.

Ahmed's statement landed on the same day multiple reports confirmed that the CIA is working to arm the Kurdish with the aim of fomenting a popular uprising in Iran, with the Trump administration in active discussions with Iranian opposition groups and Kurdish groups in Iraq about providing military support.

The initiative reportedly originated with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Mossad, with the CIA joining the effort at a later stage.

In her statement, Ahmed invoked the 1991 Kurdish uprising against Saddam Hussein's regime, known as Raparin, which began exactly 35 years ago to the day.

Kurds were urged to revolt, she wrote, "only to be abandoned when priorities changed. No one came to our defense when the regime deployed helicopter gunships and tanks to crush the uprising."

U.S. intelligence assessments have consistently indicated that Iranian Kurds do not currently have the influence or resources to sustain a successful uprising.

Iranian Kurdish parties are also seeking political assurances from the Trump administration before committing to any resistance effort, and some Trump officials involved in the discussions have raised concerns about whether the dynamic could jeopardize a working relationship.

One administration official told CNN that it "may not be as simple as Americans convincing a proxy force to fight on its behalf."

Regional analysts have raised similar alarms. Neil Quilliam of Chatham House told Al Jazeera the plan "feels like a bad move," warning that it was "an afterthought" that reveals the war against Iran "has been poorly thought out."

He added that arming Kurdish groups would be a major concern for Washington's regional partners, most notably Türkiye and Syria, and a headache for Iraq.

She's LARGELY right about Kurds being abandoned after every insurrection or revolt like the one in Iraq back in 1991 when the Kurds revolted against that dictatorship of Saddam Hussein ONLY to be abandoned with dire punitive consequences from Saddam's henchmen.

However, my greatest joy would be to see a unified country for all ethnic Kurds (under a United States and United Nations supervision) who are historically indigenous to the countries of Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Syria, etc. The balkanization of Kurds into different countries and domains over the centuries is one of the BIGGEST disservice to a group of people in the history of mankind.

Africans have been dying in America's war since World War 1.

This happened in 2024. I could bring out hundreds of such.

Are you an illiterate? Even the photos you posted said the officers were from Georgia. Those black people are American citizens. After whites, blacks and Latinos make up the majority of the race in America so why is it an issue to see black men in the US military dying for the US? Compare that to the Africans who were lured by the useless Russian government to come to Russia for a better life only to send them to their deaths. All the blacks who have died fighting for Russia in this useless Russian imposed war are not citizens of Russia.

You should pity yourself. You have no brain cells left. You have no control over your own mind.

Iran conducted a Presidential election last year. When was the last time Saudi Arabia conducted an election? Or Kuwait? Or Oman? Or Azerbaijan? These are all US allies. I could go on and list at least 2 dozen countries under dictatorship supported by the US.

The President of Azerbaijan have been in power for 23 years. This is the same country the US signed friendship deal with. America calls them strategic allies. No one accuses these countries of being dictatorships.

The United States and Israel founded and continues to fund ISIS/ISIL, ISWAP and Al Qaeda.

These are terror jihadi groups responsible for the terror attacks in Nigeria till tomorrow. There are plenty of evidence to back this up. US officials and Presidents have admitted that they created this terror groups. The US President Trump hugged and supported a former ISIS leader Al Jolani, the current President of Syria.

You no problem with this. But it is far away Iran that is your headache?

No wonder your ancestors were too easily colonized. You have no mind of your own.

The Gulf countries you mentioned don't call for death to America and Israel and make it their National policy. Those Gulf countries were not responsible for sponsoring the terrorists that blew up the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. Those Gulf countries are not responsible for sending ballistic missiles and suicide drones to Hezbollah and the Houthis to attack Israel. Hope you are getting the gist?

The highly IRRESPONSIBLE Shiite jihadist terror groups led by Iranian funding of Hamas, Hezbollah, the Yemeni Houthies by the Mullahs and second, the Sunni/Wahabbi terror jihadist groups (ISIS, ISWAP, Al-Qaeda, Al-Shaabab, and the notorious JNIM jihadi group currently operating in over half of the landmass of those 3 West African Sahel countries of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger Republic) are a great security risk to mankind including to the security of Russians. Vladimir Putin of Russia and the Chinese government MUST stay away from Iran and other sponsors of jihadi insurgency worldwide. Russia too has been attacked by Islamist terror groups from the Chechen region and other jihadi groups in the past. Period.

Trump also abandoned the kurds in 2019 after they were instrumental to taking out isis

Trump is looking for remote imperialism via divide and rule. Same way his administration is now giving support to Alberta seperatists in Canada

Good Luck to anyone who makes the mistake of trusting a serial betrayer

How is Russia fighting Nato? How many Nato troops have been deployed against Russia? I guess it's too much for you people to admit that small Ukraine is humiliating Russia, hence these excuses you and Mr Kaliningrad keep making.

NATO is using Ukraine to fight it's war, I hope you know the billions of dollars NATO has spent on Ukraine so that Ukraine won't fall?

You don't even expect me to tell you this.

Nato has not deployed any troops. So there's no equivalence to US and Israel co-deploying against Iran. Ukraine is alone in its war. Seems we're agreed on this.

Now, the issue of billions. Ukraine is being supported by the Europeans, who themselves aren't well off in terms of arms. Only the US was in a position to provide game-changing help, but what have we seen since Putin managed to get his man elected for a second term?

The 3 first casualties of US war in Iran are all Africans.

Why do Africans end up in America's war?

They are American citizens though black. Pls differentiate, you know how military work now. Always use your brain when analysing issues. Can america arm you to go and fight in Iran? Will you go? Despite the fact that you hate the Islamic Republic. That is the wisdom we are talking about ?

Look, dont let us argue on top of all that, the bombings in Kenya and Tanzania were carried out by Al-Qaeda, who created Al-Qaeda in the first instance ? who trained the top leaders of Al-Qaeda as at that time, (Osama Bin Laden, Al-Zawahri) ? These top leaders of Al-Qaeda were part of the Islamic Mujahideen trained by the CIA to fight the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan. When we say the US is also a sponsor of terror you fail to understand, because a person who listens/ watches global media and a person who is a ardent student of world history will see things from different perspectives. These western powers are hypocrites, hypocrites draw enemies. Pure and simple. The US is a sponsor of terror as well and the CIA is the biggest terrorist organisation in the world. Google wont tell you so, but we know better than Google .

Btw why shouldn't any reasonable military person go to join russia or ukraine and earn better money even if you die your family will receive it instead of remaining in borno and zamfara and awaits when bokoharam and their cousisn will kill you and APC media will tell you it's fake news, no compesation to family, no revenge. Life goes on. Even if you kill them their internal guys will set your unit up and finish una.

The columbians, camerounans, ivory coast, etc fighting for ukraine are also forced right?
