Following the launch of large-scale military operations by the United States and Israel against Iran, the geography of the conflict has rapidly expanded across both East and South Kurdistan.
Axis 1: Heavy Assault on East Kurdistan (Rojhelat)
In a wave of coordinated strikes, U.S. and Israeli air forces targeted strategic military sites across four western Iranian provinces. Field reports confirm massive explosions in the cities of Urmia, Sanandaj (Sine), Kermanshah (Kirmaşan), Ilam, and Kamyaran.
Targets: The primary objectives included underground ballistic missile silos, major IRGC bases (such as the Al-Mahdi base in Urmia and Nabi-Akram in Kermanshah), and high-altitude radar stations on the Shaho and Abdanan mountains.
Current Status: With the destruction of air defense networks, the airspace over East Kurdistan has effectively fallen out of Iranian control. Simultaneously, a 96% internet blackout has plunged the region into a total information vacuum.
Axis 2: Iranian Retaliation Against South Kurdistan (Başûr)
Only hours after the initial strikes on Iranian soil, the IRGC launched several ballistic missiles and suicide drones targeting Erbil International Airport, the capital of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
Targets: Reports indicate that the military section of Erbil Airport, which houses International Coalition forces, was the focal point of the explosions.
Current Status: Sirens are blaring at the U.S. Consulate, and all flights at Erbil Airport have been grounded. Base defense systems (C-RAM) have been activated to intercept incoming projectiles.
Brief Analysis
The Kurdish regions have now become the primary battlefield for global and regional powers. While Western Iran (East Kurdistan) is under heavy bombardment to neutralize its offensive capabilities, Iran is targeting Erbil to pressure U.S. support bases in the region.
