The Defense Units of Eastern Kurdistan (YRK) Press Office released a statement providing information about ongoing Iranian military action against their forces.

According to the statement on Thursday, the operation launched by the Iranian regime forces on June 12 in the region of Kosalan is continuing. Hundreds of troops are taking part in the operation accompanied by unmanned aerial vehicles, military vehicles and heavy construction equipment.

YRK stated that the Iranian forces are constantly bombing their areas, as a result of which a fire broke out, and access to the operation zone is still prohibited, causing concerns among the population and negatively affecting their lives.

At the same time, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards (Sipayê Pasdaran) shelled the villages of Chor and Nene on June 13, and the areas of Serdosh and Nêy Berderesh on June 21. The bombardment started a fire on the ground, which local people tried to extinguish by their own means but were prevented by Iranian forces. The fire left a large forestland burned to the ground, YRK said.

In an interview with ANF on June 19, Şiyar Şevger, one of the commanders of the YRK, stated that attacks against the Kurdish people in all four parts of Kurdistan continued uninterruptedly and behind it was an agreement between Iran, Turkey and Iraq to disarm the Kurdish freedom movements.

"There is an agreement according to which the Iranian intelligence service passes on the information it receives about PJAK to the Turkish state and the Turkish army carries out attacks on the basis of this information. Every day, reconnaissance planes circle over our areas, the collected information is passed on to the Turkish state by the KDP and Iran, and then attacks on us take place on this basis. However, the Turkish and Iranian states have not been able to achieve any results in these attacks so far and have failed against our Apoist movement,” Şevger said.
