McClatchy is reporting that the Iranian government has now launched a series of airstrikes and artillery barrages along the Northern Iraq border, in autonomous Kurdistan. Those attacks are coupled with a small scale troop incursion in the Kurdish-Iranian mountains.

Iran cites a threat from a small group of Kurdish terrorists who operate loosely along the Iran-Northern Iraq border, which — regardless of its accuracy — is a laughable accusation coming from the world’s single largest exporter of terrorism.
