In northern Iraq, near the Iranian border, CBS News interviewed Kurdish fighters from the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (PDKI), who aim to overthrow Iran’s hardline regime. Although President Trump downplayed U.S. military intervention amidst severe protests in Iran, PDKI leader Mustafa Hijri emphasized the need for international support to bolster the demonstrators. He warned that premature action by PDKI could jeopardize the protests, stressing the importance of strategic timing. Hijri advocates for Kurdish rights and hopes for a future where minorities can live under democratic laws.
