📰 Our panel discussion on the rise of a Kurdish alliance in Iran was cited by @ShaolinTom in @Newsweek. newsweek.com/iran-risks-new-…

@Hejar_Berenji told me: “The Kurdish Alliance has not officially announced or established a coordinated military framework inside Iranian Kurdistan. Based on current information, these actions appear to be carried out independently by different groups at this stage.”

At the @KurdishPeaceOrg webinar, I spoke with @LaraKarwanJalal about a reality we must face: the Iranian people have not yet been shown a unified and credible alternative to the regime in Tehran.
The Kurdish alliance has offered a model of unity despite differences.
Those who respect national rights, human rights, democracy, and the fair distribution of power and wealth can be partners in building Iran’s democratic future.

Last week, @KurdishPeaceOrg Research Associate @LaraKarwanJalal moderated an insightful panel on Rojhelat, featuring Kurdish representatives @SBayaziddi and @Hejar_Berenji. They emphasized that meaningful democratic change in Iran cannot be achieved without recognizing the Kurdish factor. The Kurdish alliance reaffirmed its commitment to democracy, federalism, and human rights in Rojhelat, stressing that any sustainable transition in Iran must include Kurdish participation and aspirations, despite the recent U.S.–Iran MOU. In light of ongoing developments, they underscored the importance of ensuring Kurdish voices are included in any future political framework for Iran.
