flag Iranian Kurds in Iraq refuse to return home unless Iran’s theocracy falls, fearing repression and attacks.

flag Exiled Iranian Kurds in Iraq say they will only return home if Iran’s theocratic regime falls, citing decades of repression, statelessness, and fear of retaliation. flag Living in camps near Irbil, they remain disconnected from Iraqi citizenship and livelihoods, relying on sponsors while advocating for Kurdish autonomy. flag Amid escalating attacks on northern Iraq since early 2026—including drone strikes and missile assaults linked to Iran’s IRGC and allied militias—they face growing danger, with at least 51 injuries and eight deaths reported. flag Iranian Kurdish groups, targeted in 43 attacks, remain committed to a democratic, federal Iran but remain skeptical of foreign powers exploiting their cause. flag Their desire to return is tied to political change, not military outcomes.
