Kurdistan is a nation left out of the map when Great Britain and France redrew the boundaries of the Middle East after WWI. It comprises parts of Iraq, Iran, Turkey, and Syria. In many regions, the Kurds very much have their own governing body, and they have since been trying to become a completely independent nation. Obviously authoritarian regimes like Iran and Saddam’s Iraqi government don’t like that, as they don’t want to give up any of their countries boundaries. Ghafouri doesn’t seem to be supporting Kurdish independence, just doesn’t want people being killed. Of course, Iran piece of shit officials are going to twist it as “spreading propaganda against the state,” which clearly it isn’t. Hoping for the safety and well-being of Ghafouri. 🙏
