"According to the reports, Iranian forces are conducting large scale operations near the Turkish and Iraqi borders after the PKK terrorists wintering in northern Iraq began to infiltrate the border with Turkey and Iran.

Some 10,000 Iranian forces are taking part in the operation. 10 PKK terrorists were killed while six Iranian security forces lost their lives in the clashes. Several PKK terrorists were injured in the clashes."

I wonder about this. Could the US be involved in this? Or perhaps worst is this involving Kurd govt. And I wonder if this area is a route in which opium is transported to Turkey then on to Europe. This area is part of silk road, but don't know details:

Totten was recently in this area and mentions taking the main highway through Turkey and about the area north of northern Iraq
