In the meantime, the US is out shopping the war as a 'boots-on-ground' mission...just not US boots on the ground and the ones I fear could be duped again would be the Kurds, even though they have been repeatedly used and abandoned by the US for decades.
It seems like the siren call of arms and ammunition to feed their fantasy of an independent Kurdistan leads them to again and again become involved in others' imperial wars.

I will watch this with interest. Maybe this time they will recognize that it will be pure slaughter by the Revolutionary Guard forces and stay out of it.

“The U.S. remembers the Kurds in situations when they need an ally,” because the Kurds have experience and arms, said Yunus Abakay, a Turkish Kurd and a fellow at the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies at the University of Exeter. But they’re also nonstate actors, who have no protection under international law, he said. “The U.S. can ask them to do something and when it’s done, walk away.”
The Kurds, he said, are “inexpensive political assets.”
