Middle East Eye·IQ · US · IR·about 7 hours ago
Reports indicate the US is cutting funding for the KRG's Peshmerga forces as Washington prepares to withdraw troops from Iraq, while Iran continues drone and missile attacks on the Kurdistan Region. The funding reduction signals a shift in US posture that could weaken Kurdish defenses and alter the regional balance. Uncertainty remains over the scale of the cut and its impact on ongoing counter-Iran operations.
