Partnership between Trump, Iran's Kurds still on agenda, says KDPI's Asso Hassan Zadeh
About this episode
Asso Hassan Zadeh discusses the potential for an alliance between the Trump administration and Iranian Kurdish opposition groups despite Trump's recent statements.
President Donald Trump says he has ruled out plans to ally with armed Iranian Kurdish opposition groups, after previously suggesting he would like them to help overthrow the Iranian regime. However, Asso Hassan Zadeh, a prominent figure in the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran, says there is reason to believe otherwise and that such an alliance may still be on the table.
