Iranian Kurdistan Coalition Member: We Have Received Weapons from No One

Categorical Denial of Arms Aid Amid rising regional tensions and allegations against Kurdish opposition groups, Moloudi, a prominent member of the "Coalition of Political Forces of Iranian Kurdistan," explicitly stated that the coalition has not received any weapons from foreign countries or international entities. In a conversation with the Bianet media outlet, he emphasized that all activities of this coalition are based on internal capabilities and popular support [1]. These remarks were made in response to reports claiming that opposition movements on Iran's western borders are being equipped by third-party powers.

Focus on Civilian Protection and Legitimate Defense Referring to the security situation in Kurdish regions, Moloudi noted that their presence and activities are purely defensive, with the primary goal being the protection of people's lives and property against threats. He stated: "We have not taken weapons from anyone; our duty is only to protect our people against increasing pressures" [1]. This coalition member claimed that their approach is not offensive but a reaction to the conditions imposed on the region, and they reserve the right to legitimate defense [2].

The Position of the Coalition of Political Forces in Current Equations The "Coalition of Political Forces of Iranian Kurdistan," which acts as an umbrella for coordination among various Kurdish parties, has tried in recent years to represent a unified voice in international arenas. Moloudi mentioned in part of his speech that the real power of this coalition lies not in military arsenals, but in its political legitimacy and social base [3]. He added that their efforts to gain diplomatic and human rights support continue, but this does not mean military dependence on foreign parties.

Reactions to Moloudi's Statements and Future Outlook Political analysts believe that Moloudi's statements are an attempt to reduce international pressure and prevent military excuses against the headquarters of these parties. Given the history of conflicts in border areas, the emphasis on not receiving weapons can be seen as a message to calm the atmosphere [2]. However, observers believe that until a comprehensive political solution is found for the issues of Iranian Kurdistan, these types of verbal disputes and mutual accusations between the parties will continue. The aforementioned coalition continues to insist on its positions and calls for the international community's attention to the humanitarian situation in these regions [1].
