Axios: US set covert link with IRGC via Barzani
During its negotiations with Iran, the Trump administration established a secret direct communication channel with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), using Iraqi Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani as an intermediary in an attempt to pressure the Iranian leadership and reach a peace agreement. This move comes after Washington doubted the credibility of the Iranian negotiators and entrusted the IRGC, which had increased its influence following internal changes in Iran. Contacts were made with Vahidi, a commander of the IRGC, through a secret channel, and he confirmed his support for the negotiations. However, concerns over intelligence activities and Iranian security demands prevented a direct meeting from taking place in Erbil.
