Iraqi and Iranian shia militias are going to fight them and the Turks wont accept that.
Logistically it is a landlocked base.. Iraq not being able to go after them doesn't mean Iran can't.
I don't disagree, but that's kind of the point here, gentlemen!
The Israelis want the Iranians and Turks — perhaps the Iraqis and Syrians as well — to be preoccupied with heavily armed Kurdish separatists so they're "too distracted" to pose a threat (whatever that may actually mean) to Israel.
Moreover, Tel Aviv see its sponsorship of Kurdish militants as a lever to pull with Ankara: "We'll stop arming and funding the Kurds if you guys turn over the Hamas leaders, operatives and facilitators granted safe haven in Turkey."
Though, really, the Israelis will at best have their Kurdish proxies "tune it down" for a bit . . .
Kurds were only able to do that in Iraq because US has boots on the ground, for 15 years.
Not exactly. Iraqi Kurdistan emerged as an autonomous mini-state ~35 years ago, not ~15 years ago, in the aftermath of the first Gulf War.
Saddam Hussein's government subsequently failed to regain control of these Kurdish dominated areas due to a combination of crippling economic sanctions and no-fly zones enforced by the US and its allies.
So that
might give you a preview of what's to come over Iranian skies . . .
