The Kurdish regions are still considered a war zone you know. The threat is much bigger than PKK.

Kurds say they have halted Islamic State advance on Syrian town
Mon, Sep 22 08:26 AM EDT
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syrian Kurdish fighters have halted an advance by Islamic State fighters to the east of a predominantly Kurdish town near the border with Turkey, a spokesman for the main armed Kurdish group said.
"Fierce clashes are still under way but the ISIS (Islamic State) advance to the east of Kobani has been halted since last night," Redur Xelil, spokesman for the main Kurdish armed group, the YPG, said via Skype.
He said the eastern front was the scene of the fiercest fighting in the offensive launched by Islamic State last Tuesday on Kobani, also known in Arabic as Ayn al-Arab. More than 100,000 Syrian Kurds, driven by fear of Islamic State, have fled its advance, many crossing the border into Turkey.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which tracks violence in the Syrian war, said Islamic State fighters had made no significant advance in the last 24 hours.
The offensive is Islamic State's second attempt to take Kobani since June, when it staged a lightning advance across northern Iraq, seizing the city of Mosul and with it Iraqi weaponry including American-made hardware that the Syrian Kurds say is now being used against them.
The previous attack on Kobani, in July, was fought off with the help of Kurds who crossed the border from Turkey. Xelil said hundreds had crossed from Turkey again to help repel the current offensive.
"There have been no reinforcements apart from some Kurdish youths from Turkey," he said.
The United States has launched air strikes against Islamic State in Iraq and has said it will not hesitate to strike the group in Syria, but wants allies to join its campaign.
The United Nations said on Sunday the number of Syrian Kurds who had fled into neighboring Turkey alone might have topped 100,000 and was likely to go much higher.
"There are still clashes to the west and south of Kobani but not at the same intensity as the eastern front," Xelil said.
Rami Abdulrahman, who runs the Observatory, said Islamic State had made "no progress worth mentioning" in the past 24 hours, but that clashes were "at their most intense".
There were conflicting accounts of how far Islamic State fighters were from Kobani. Xelil said they were 20-30 km (12-19 miles) away, while Abdulrahman said they were around half that distance from the town.

YPG has forbidden any sharing of movements for the public but PYD(the main party) claims that they have feed Mabroukah
Also worth mentioning that the Syrian airforce (don't know if true) destroyed the Qara Qozaq bridge to halt IS supply line and flexibility on Kobanê.

If u don't know who they are then you have nothing to say really about anything coming from the Kurdish regions in Iran at all.
Why does Turkey have a problem with Kurds trying to enter Kobanê to fight? Which according to them was the reason tehy first closed the gate when about 300 PKK partizans entered during the influx

It is pretty much proven that Turkey is aiding IS and it's not something I will be commenting on. And yes there are Kurds in IS, many of whom are getting executed as they are being accused of being spies.
Anyway the artificial borders are getting erased

All major medias say the same since they got it from the same source. 130 000 is something I don't belive in, I for one hasn't seen any pictures or vids of people anywhere near those numbers

US Airstrikes Under Way in Syria
American airstrikes against ISIS targets are under way in Syria, according to a Pentagon official.
"I can confirm that U.S. military and partner nation forces are undertaking military action against ISIL [ISIS] terrorists in Syria using a mix of fighter, bomber and Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles," Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Admiral John Kirby said. "Given that these operations are ongoing, we are not in a position to provide additional details at this time. The decision to conduct theses strikes was made earlier today by the U.S. Central Command commander under authorization granted him by the commander in chief. We will provide more details later as operationally appropriate."
