US was arming Iranian dissidents through Kurds while negotiating with Tehran, Trump reveals

Former President Trump revealed that the United States covertly armed protesters inside Iran weeks before launching military strikes. The operation involved supplying weapons to demonstrators through Kurdish intermediaries, even as American and Iranian officials were engaged in negotiations. According to Trump's account, the plan went awry as he believes the Kurds kept the weapons instead of delivering them to the intended recipients. This admission confirms previous reports about a CIA plan to arm Iranian Kurdish forces to destabilize the government.
