Summary/Abstract: After the World War I Iraqi Kurds have often risen against the Iraqi central government. Iran has supported the revolutions led by Sheikh Mahmud Barzanji, Sheikh Ahmed Barzani, and Mulla Mustafa. It has ended the support provided to Iraqi Kurds after achieving its benefits in Iraq each time. To the contrary of Turkey and Syria, Iran has established a close relationship with Iraqi Kurds. Maintaining this relationship, it has used the Iraqi Kurds to achieve its own benefits. Iran continu edits relation with Iraq also and has always acted towards keeping its territorial unity.Thus, Iran’s tough attitude about the independence referendum held on the 25th of September 2017 is the best embodiment of this.
