Komele Representative Says Iran’s Stability Depends on Recognizing Ethnic Diversity

The Washington representative of Iran’s Kurdish opposition party Komele said the country’s long-term stability can only be secured by recognizing its ethnic and national diversity. He said a sustainable political vision must reflect Iran’s multiple communities, including Persians, Kurds, Azerbaijanis, Arabs and Baloch. He argued for shared sovereignty, decentralization and equal rights for all components of society. The remarks framed Iran’s political future as dependent on an institutional model that acknowledges the country’s plural makeup rather than concentrating power in a single identity. The representative also pointed to recent attacks on Komele offices in the Kurdistan Region, saying they had been targeted by dozens of missile and drone strikes. The incidents underscored the security pressure facing the party’s presence in the region. He denied reports that Komele had received weapons assistance from the US government. The denial came as he sought to clarify the party’s position amid renewed attention on its activities and security situation.
