In this Nov. 7, 2016 file photo, Kurdish Peshmerga fighters and commanders overlook Islamic State group positions during heavy fighting in Bashiqa, east of Mosul, Iraq. Over the past century, Kurds in the Mideast have gotten close to setting up their own state or autonomous regions on several occasions only to have their dreams shattered after being abandoned by world powers. The latest instance comes with Syria's Kurds who with U.S. backing have led the fight against the Islamic State group in that country. Now the U.S. plans to withdraw from Syria, leaving the Kurds to face Turkish forces.

Who are the Kurds, the group rumored to be joining the US war in Iran?
