伊拉克北部—— 美以对伊朗战争进入第七天，总统特朗普的最终目标仍模糊不清。不过，他表示希望”进去并清除”这个伊斯兰共和国的神权政权，并在周五要求对方”无条件投降”。
他实现目标的手段可能包括得到一些地区合作伙伴的帮助，而这些合作伙伴非常欢迎美国的援助。特朗普周四表示，如果居住在伊拉克边境的伊朗库尔德人对被围困的伊朗政权发动地面攻击，那将是”美妙的事情”。
该地区伊朗库尔德派系中的一个潜在美国盟友，希望得到的不仅仅是口头支持。
伊朗库尔德民主党（KDPI） 是一个武装力量相对薄弱的政党，代表着伊朗库尔德族少数民族（约占该国总人口的10%）。该党一名领导人告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，该组织正在与美国政府接触，希望利用美以对伊朗战争创造的机会，帮助推翻现政权。
关键问题是，他们是否得到了华盛顿方面任何实质性支持的承诺。周四，在伊拉克北部该政党的基地，KDPI领导委员会成员阿曼吉·扎布塔伊（Amanj Zabtaee）被直接问及此事时表示，他无法回答，因为这”过于敏感”。
“但目前的现实是，双方目标一致，都是推翻伊斯兰政权，这是我现在能说的全部，”扎布塔伊说。
“我们目标一致，”他再次强调，”这就是我们能够互相帮助的原因。”
目前还不清楚扎布塔伊拒绝回答该问题是因为某种秘密的美国联盟已在酝酿中，还是他只是希望这种猜测能帮助其从白宫获得支持。
至关重要的是，该组织尚未获得任何直接的美国支持，如果他们试图穿越边境进入伊朗而没有美国可能提供的空中支援，其战士可能会成为易受攻击的目标。
不过，他确实有理由抱有希望。
特朗普在周四接受路透社采访时鼓励伊朗库尔德人攻击伊朗，称：”我认为他们愿意这么做真是太棒了。我会全力支持。”
美国曾抛弃库尔德盟友的先例
尽管美国多年来多次在库尔德派系提供重大战场援助后抛弃他们，伊朗库尔德人目前仍抱有希望。
1970年代，伊拉克库尔德叛乱分子与美国和伊朗军队结盟对抗巴格达政府，但在伊朗前国王巴列维（Shah）促使伊拉克割让领土后，这些叛乱分子被切断了支援。当时尼克松总统的外交政策顾问亨利·基辛格（Henry Kissinger）谈到这次抛弃时表示：”秘密行动不应与传教工作混为一谈。”
1990年代，时任总统老布什鼓励库尔德人和什叶派穆斯林团体起来反抗伊拉克的萨达姆·侯赛因，但当侯赛因的支持者屠杀了数万名库尔德人和什叶派成员时，美国并未提供保护。
最近，叙利亚库尔德武装力量（SDF）在叙利亚多年艰苦战争后成为美国在当地的主要代理力量，帮助击败了”伊斯兰国”（ISIS）。特朗普的叙利亚特使托马斯·巴拉克（Thomas Barrack）今年1月表示，反ISIS联盟现已基本失效，因为美国政府支持了新的叙利亚政府。短短几周内，库尔德人在与新政府的冲突中失去了年初控制领土的80%。
尽管有上述先例，但一些伊朗库尔德团体认为，在他们数十年试图推翻伊朗镇压性的伊斯兰政权后，这个新的潜在美国联盟是不容错过的机会。
然而，伊朗政权拥有数千架无人机和弹道导弹、复杂的情报系统以及庞大的武装部队，比”伊斯兰国”要强大得多。

周五，哥伦比亚广播公司新闻在伊朗库尔德反对派组织哈巴特组织位于伊拉克北部的营地进行了探访，就在该组织成员称遭无人机袭击数小时后。他们认为袭击是伊朗直接所为，或者是伊朗在伊拉克支持的某个民兵组织所为。
周五晚些时候，KDPI基地也遭到袭击，但落下的两枚导弹和三架无人机未造成人员伤亡。
“80年来，我们一直与现任和前任独裁者斗争。到目前为止，还没有任何国家的空军为我们提供过保护，但我们仍然屹立不倒，”扎布塔伊周四告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，”如果能有这样的（空中支援），那将非常好。但如果没有，也并不意味着我们会削弱对事业的投入。”
“我们认为当前局势是一个绝佳机会，”他说，”一切皆有可能。该政党可能会利用这个机会进入伊朗。”

Trump says Iranian Kurdish attack on Iran would be “wonderful,” but will he help?
March 6, 2026 / 9:53 AM EST / CBS News
Northern Iraq — Seven days into the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, President Trump’s end goal remains vaguely defined. He’s said, however, that he wants to “go in and clean out” the Islamic Republic’s theocratic regime, and on Friday he demanded “unconditional surrender.”
The means by which he hopes to meet his objectives may involve help from some regional partners, who would more than welcome U.S. assistance. Mr. Trump said Thursday that it would be “wonderful” if Iranian Kurds based over the border in Iraq joined the fight with a ground attack on the besieged Iranian regime.
One potential U.S. ally among the Iranian Kurdish factions in the region is hoping for more than just words of support.
A leader of the lightly-armed Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (KDPI)— which represents Iran’s Kurdish ethnic minority who compose around 10% of the country’s overall population — told CBS News the group is in contact with the U.S. government, and it hopes to use the opportunity created by the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran to help topple the regime.
The crucial question is whether they have been promised any material support from Washington. When asked directly by CBS News on Thursday at the party’s base in Northern Iraq, Amanj Zabtaee — part of the KDPI leadership committee — said he couldn’t answer, because it was “too sensitive.”
“But the reality at the moment is both sides have the same goal, and it is the toppling of the Islamic regime, that is all what I can say now,” Zabtaee said.
“We have the same goal,” he reiterated. “This is why we could be help to each other.”
It’s unclear whether Zabtaee’s refusal to respond to the question was due to some secret U.S. alliance already in the works, or if he was just hoping that speculation might help secure support from the White House.
Crucially, the group has not yet received any direct U.S. support, and its fighters could be sitting ducks if they do attempt to cross the border into Iran without the kind of air support the U.S. could provide.
He does have reason to be hopeful, however.
Mr. Trump encouraged Iranian Kurds to attack Iran in an interview with Reuters on Thursday, saying: “I think it’s wonderful that they would want to do that. I’d be all for it.”
A precedent of U.S. abandoning Kurdish allies
The Iranian Kurds’ current hopes come despite the fact that the U.S. has, multiple times over the years, abandoned Kurdish factions across the region after they provided significant battlefield assistance.
In the 1970s, Iraqi Kurdish rebels allied with American and Iranian forces against the government in Baghdad, but they were cut off by Iran’s former royal ruler the Shah after he got Iraq to cede territory. Henry Kissinger, then-President Nixon’s foreign policy adviser, said of the abandonment: “Covert action should not be confused with missionary work.”
In the 1990s, then-President George HW Bush encouraged Kurdish and Shiitte Muslim groups to rise up against Saddam Hussein in Iraq, but the U.S. did not help defend those communities when Hussein loyalists slaughtered tens of thousands of their members.
Most recently, the Syrian-Kurdish SDF forces became the main U.S. proxy on the ground in helping defeat ISIS after years of grueling war in Syria. Mr. Trump’s special envoy to Syria Thomas Barrack said in January that the anti-ISIS alliance had now largely expired, as the administration backed the new Syrian government. In a matter of weeks, the Kurds lost 80% of the territory they had held at the start of the year in clashes with the new government.
Despite the precedent, however, some Iranian Kurdish groups see a new potential U.S. alliance as too good to pass up, after their decades-long quest to overthrow Iran’s repressive Islamic Republic.
The Iranian regime — with its thousands of drones and ballistic missiles, sophisticated intelligence and large armed forces — is a much more potent enemy than ISIS, however.
CBS News visited the KDPI’s base in northern Iraq, around 30 miles from the Iranian border, in January. The group is lightly armed and many of their fighters are young women. Some told us they fled Iran because women’s rights aren’t respected there.

On Friday, CBS News visited the camp of another Iranian Kurdish opposition group in northern Iraq, the Khabat Organization of Iranian Kurdistan, hours after its members said they were hit by a drone strike. They believe they were targeted either by Iran directly, or one of the militia groups Iran supports in Iraq.
Later Friday, the KDPI base came under attack, but the two missiles and three drones that landed didn’t kill or wound anyone.
“For 80 years we have been in the fight with the current and previous dictators. Until now, no country’s air force has defended us, and we are still standing,” Zabtaee told CBS News on Thursday. “If something like this [air support] can happen, it will be great. But if it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t mean that we will be less committed to our cause.”
“We see the current situation as a great opportunity,” he said. “Everything is now possible. The party might use this opportunity to enter Iran.”
