Iranian Kurds Say Uprising is Possible

An Iranian Kurdish group whose fighters have clashed frequently with government forces in Iran has sent its top leader to Washington, D.C., to seek assistance from the United States government.

Rahman Haj Ahmadi, president of the Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK), told NewsMax in an exclusive interview that he hoped to meet with senior administration officials to discuss the situation inside Iran and how the U.S. could help the opposition.

"PJAK has thousands of fighters in the mountains of Iran and deep inside Iranian cities," he said. "With U.S. help, we will lead the Kurdish people in an uprising that could spread to the whole of Iran."
