[Breaking] Iraqi Kurdish rebels launch ground attack on Iran... Trump: "Claims of armed group support are groundless"

Thousands of Iraqi Kurdish fighters have launched a ground attack on Iran, Fox News reported on Sunday, citing U.S. officials.

Kurdish militant officials based in northern Iraq told the Associated Press that "the U.S. asked us for support." However, the White House drew a clear line against media reports suggesting American backing for the Kurdish forces, stating it is "absolutely not true that the president agreed to such a plan."

The Wall Street Journal previously reported that President Trump made contact with Kurdish leaders on Thursday but had not made a final decision on whether to provide weapons, military training, and intelligence support to the militant groups.
