Kurdish groups from Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran have long sought independence. This appears to be happening in Iran. This means that a sectarian civil war is brewing in Iran that could spread to the other 4 countries.
There is also another separatist group in Iran the Balochs, which extend into Pakistan. If that movement joins the burgeoning sectarian conflict this could expand to nuclear armed Pakistan (who is at war with Afghanistan).
We are on the brink of a regional sectarian conflict that could kill 10s or 100s of thousands and displace millions.
Thanks magat scum.
