Perhaps Turkey, Iraq, Iran all agreeing a Kurdish state will increase stability in the region.

They're all supremacists for their own majority ethnicity (Turks, Arabs, Persians respectively) and will never want to give up land when they could lord it over a people they see as lesser to them. Especially Turkey, since Erdogan is openly racist against Kurds.

Feud out in the open as blame game begins: Top Iranian general says Russia was bombing the empty desert instead of attacking Syrian rebels

In a recent development it has been actually revealed by a top Iranian general that Russia was bombing the empty deserts instead of attacking the Syrian rebels and thus the feud is out in the open as the blame game has already begun.

economictimes.indiatimes.com

A top Iranian general Brig. Gen. Behrouz Esbati has publicly criticized the nation Russia for allegedly misleading Tehran regarding the military operations in Syria.

In a pretty recent speech at a mosque in Tehran, Brig. Gen. Behrouz Esbati claimed that Russia assured Iran that its jets were targeting Syrian rebel positions but were actually bombing open desert areas instead. This stark accusation eventually marks a rare deviation from Iran's typically supportive diplomatic stance towards Russia.

The recent remarks of Brig. Gen. Behrouz Esbati actually reflect a growing frustration within Iran regarding its role in Syria and the perceived inadequacies of its ally, Russia.
