Syria's Kurds caution Iran's Kurds against aligning with US against Tehran

QAMISHLI, Syria March 8 (Reuters) - Kurdish residents of northeast ​Syria warned Iran's Kurds against aligning with the U.S. to fight the Iranian government, citing their own experience in Syria in recent ‌months as evidence their Iranian counterparts would be "abandoned."

Iranian Kurdish militias based in northern Iraq have consulted with the United States in recent days about whether and how to attack security forces in western Iran, as the United States and Israel pound Iran with air strikes, Reuters has reported.

But Syria's Kurds warned their Iranian counterparts against partnering with Washington."I hope that the Kurds of ​Iran will not ally themselves with America, because they will abandon them," said Saad Ali, a 45-year-old resident of the northeastern Syrian Kurdish ​town of Qamishli.
