1/16 — Kurdish Separatist Militia Admits Targeting Iranian Security Forces During Recent Riots

The PAK group, which has received training from the US army, said it ‘inflicted damage on regime forces’ in defense of ‘protesters’

The Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK), an Iranian Kurdish separatist militia, admitted on 15 January that its members carried out “armed operations” against security forces in Iran, framing the attacks as a “defense” for protesters.

PAK members “played a role in the protests through both financial support and armed operations to defend protesters when needed,” PAK representative Jwansher Rafati told AP.

“When we found out that the IRGC was shooting protesters directly, our fighters in Ilam, Kermanshah, and Firuzkuh responded with armed operations and inflicted significant damage on the regime’s forces,” he added.

“The attacks were launched by members of PAK’s National Army of Kurdistan military wing based inside Iran,” he said, adding that the Kurdish group “has not sent any forces from Iraq, but anticipates that Iran may strike PAK bases in Iraq in retaliation for its operations.”

Rafati also revealed that his organization has been “providing support” to Iranians who “fled” to the Iraqi Kurdistan region when the “crackdown on protests” began.

The organization began politically organizing itself during the 12-day Iran-Israel war in June 2025, but did not launch armed operations.

A spokesman told AP at the time that “premature armed mobilization” could endanger Kurds in both Iran and Iraq.

PAK has received training from the US military in the past.

Rafati’s admission came one day after Reuters reported, citing sources, that militants belonging to Kurdish separatist groups have been seeking to cross the border into Iran from Iraq in order to join in on the anti-government violence that took place across the country recently.
