KDPI–Komala conflict

The conflict between the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (KDPI) and the Komala Party of Iranian Kurdistan began when the latter refused to stop calling the former a "class enemy" and the tensions started to grow. Komala continued making anti-KDPI propaganda, and subsequently KDPI declared war on Komala.[3] Both Kurdish organizations ended up simultaneously fighting against Iranian forces separately.[4]
