So it makes little sense -- based on Mahdi's public statements -- that the Kurds support Mahdi for PM. The only reason I can think of is that Mahdi made assurances to the Kurds that he'd support the 2020 budget and the monetary reforms. It's not beyond possibility that Mahdi is playing both sides and knows the Iranian regime has an expiration date, so he's paying them lip service while supporting reforms that will fatally wound them.
