That Can't Be Good
Turkey moves 40,000 troops to the Iraq border, and Iran is bolstering their forces as well. Both targetting Kurdish areas, ostensibly in retaliation for PKK attacks based from there.
Turkey already has 250,000 troops in theatre, so this brings the total to almost 300,000. That's a hell of a lot of troops for mopping up a few irregular terrorist forces.
