Journalist Seymour Hersh, who was also the reporter to break the Abu Ghraib story, has written this week's article, which maintains that US support for Pejak has been going on for the past 6 months, including training and logistical support. Hersh also claims that Israel is supporting Iran-based Pejak forces.
The New Yorker article also maintains that the US Defense Department has formed secret relations with Kurdish, Azeri and Balucian ethnic groups in Iran, and that the Pentagon is encouraging members of these ethnic groups to foment movements against the Iranian government in the country's northern and southeastern regions.
