Iran and Turkey

Now Turkey has a partner in its operations we posited earlier

Turkey and Iran have dispatched tanks, artillery and thousands of troops to
their frontiers with Iraq during the past few weeks in what appears to be a
coordinated effort to disrupt the activities of Kurdish rebel bases.

Scores of Kurds have fled their homes in the northern frontier region
after four days of shelling by the Iranian army. Local officials said Turkey had
also fired a number of shells into Iraqi territory.
