Senator Lindsey Graham said on January 27, 2026, that he plans to introduce legislation dubbed the “Save the Kurds Act” to impose “crippling sanctions” on any government or group engaged in hostilities against Kurdish forces and communities in Syria, arguing that abandoning U.S.-aligned Kurds would damage American security and credibility.
Reports of potential US-Israeli backing for Kurdish forces in Iran to launch a ground attack on the government have raised fears of drawing Turkey into the escalating war. This follows US-Israeli airstrikes that killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, prompting Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz and strike Gulf states. Iranian and Turkish officials anticipate collaboration to counter any Kurdish moves.

I Syrien har de kurdiske Syriske demokratiske styrker (SDF) og overgangsregeringen under præsident Ahmed al-Scharaa indgået en fredsaftale, der har forhindret en truende borgerkrig i nordøst. Tysklands føderale regering forsvarer sin mildere tilgang, mens menneskerettighedsgrupper og oppositionen kritiserer håndteringen af kurderne. Aftalen inkluderer tilbagetrækning af tropper og integration af kurdiske strukturer, men skepsis vedvarer.
