Iran’s president hails Kurds, urges action against separatists

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian has praised the people of western Kordestan Province for supporting the country in the current critical juncture amid the illegal US-Israeli aggression, urging action against separatist militants.

In an X post on Friday, Pezeshkian expressed sympathy with the families of those killed and injured in the criminal strikes launched by the US and Israeli regime on the country.

He further noted the Kordestan governor and the Armed Forces protecting the country’s sovereignty are required to decisively counter separatist movements.

The US and Israel began their brutal act of aggression against Iran on Saturday morning by assassinating Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei in violation of the country’s sovereignty. So far, at least 1,230 Iranian people have been people killed in the terrorist air raids.

Iran began to swiftly retaliate against the unlawful military assault by launching barrages of missile and drone attacks on the Israeli-occupied territories as well as on the US assets in regional countries.

After suffering heavy blows, Washington has declared support for armed separatists to attack Iran.
