Turkey and Iran are responding to reports that Iranian Kurdish militias have consulted with the United States in recent days about possible attacks against the Iranian regime.
Turkey is saying it's watching closely.
Iran is saying it's targeting what it called separatist militias in that region that it said intended to act against security forces there.
