Thousands of Iraqi Kurdish fighters have launched a ground offensive on Iran, a U.S. official told Fox News.
This development comes as the conflict between the United States, Israel and Iran continues to escalate across the region.
Earlier on Wednesday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that the U.S. military is not arming a rebellion inside Iran, although he suggested that other parts of the U.S. government could potentially be involved.

At the White House, spokesperson Karoline Leavitt denied reports that the administration of President Donald Trump had agreed to arm Kurdish forces.
“I can comment on the fact that the president has had numerous conversations with partners, allies and leaders in the region, in the Middle East,” Leavitt said. “He also spoke with Kurdish leaders regarding our base that we have in northern Iraq. But any report suggesting that the president agreed to such a plan is completely inaccurate and should not be published.”
