I understand that. There are loads of Kurds in Iran and Turkey. However, I don't know if that means Iran or Turkey would invade the formerly Kurdish parts of Iraq if it declared indpendence (with US support) in the Iraqi Kurdish geography.

If Turkey invades a newly independent Kurdistan where there used to be Northern Iraq, what do they then do? Kill everyone, and leave? Kill everyone and claim they've just expanded Turkey's Southern border? They're going to have to suppress the desire of the Turkish-Kurds to secede and join, but invading the new country doesn't have a lot of positive endgames for Turkey.
