President Donald Trump expressed that he is “not pleased” with Kurdish factions that were meant to supply US arms to demonstrators in Iran to incite a rebellion.
Trump stated today at the White House that the “Kurds failed to provide the weapons.”
“I’m dissatisfied with the shipment of the armaments.” I’m not excited about it, but a few weapons were delivered, and we’ll find out who possesses them. “However, I’m dissatisfied with the situation concerning the Kurds,” Trump stated when queried about claims that the arms remained in Iraqi Kurdistan.
In March, sources indicated that Xenix News reported the Trump administration was engaged in talks with Iranian opposition factions and Kurdish leaders in Iraq regarding military support for them.
Any effort to supply Iranian Kurdish groups with arms would require backing from Iraqi Kurds to allow the passage of weapons and to use Iraqi Kurdistan as a base for operations.
Kurdish organizations have refuted Trump’s claims to multiple news sources in the past few weeks.
