Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

My guess is the Kurds will accept weapons, and setup defensive forces so they are less likely to be attacked.

I see little reason for them to attack anyone who has not attacked them.

The Kurds have wanted their own territory, e.g. an independent Kurdistan, for decades, and they've been fighting the Iranians, the Iraqis, the Syrian, and the Turks the whole time.

If the benevolent U.S. had its way, I'm sure we would be totally willing to let them take big portions of the first 3 in exchange for their help. But the problem is Turkey, who considers the Kurds to be terrorists, and Turkey is part of NATO.

The current chaos presents a rare opportunity for the Iranian Kurds to finally control some territory. This could be beachheaded into control of some territory in Iraq and Syria as well, as long as Turkey can be held at bay by U.S. influence.

Not when you potentially have people like this choosing targets for military.
 
Why isn't Turkey questioned - when one regime falls, another one rises like a game of Whack-a-mole

Turkey is not considered a "rogue state" because it remains a crucial, functional NATO ally (since 1952) and a major economic partner for the West, despite its drift toward authoritarianism, human rights concerns, and independent foreign policy under Erdoğan. While critics cite its actions in Syria, democratic backsliding, and regional volatility as "rogue-like" behavior, Turkey is not a failed state, possesses a strong military, and acts as a key mediator in conflicts, such as in Ukraine.
