The Iraq mess gets messier and messier by the hour.

The armies of Turkey and Iran are getting ready for showdown with the PKK. About 230,000 Turkish soldiers have been massing along the border with southern Kurdistan (northern Iraq) since April 2. The Iranians, in coordination with the Turks, have massed along "their" border with southern Kurdistan with about 30,000-50,000 soldiers according to Kurdish non-media sources close to HPG.

Turkish and Iranian incursions into southern Kurdistan have already occurred, and one Turkish battalion has already positioned itself within the borders of southern Kurdistan.
