          Israel-Iran conflict

          Follow the unfolding escalation of tensions between the two countries

          ERBIL, IRAQ - MARCH 12: A member of Komala of the Toilers of Kurdistan, a Kurdish Iranian dissident group, guards against drone attack near their military bases hidden among the mountains on March 12, 2026 in Khalifa, Erbil Province, Iraq. The group is part of the Coalition of Political Forces of Iranian Kurdistan, an alliance of major Iranian Kurdish parties headquartered in Iraq. While all eyes are on the continuing US and Israeli strikes against Iran, another potential battlefront is brewing on the border with Iraq. Kurdish militia fighters are preparing for war with the hope of liberating their fellow Kurds in western Iran. (Photo by Sedat Suna / Getty Images)
