Trump leaked information about an attempt to arm the Iranian opposition, now he is threatening the Kurds.

Donald Trump said the United States was trying to put weapon Iranian demonstrators during mass protests in Iran in December 2025 - January 2026. According to him, the deliveries were made through Kurdish groups in Iraqi Kurdistan, but the weapons never reached their recipients.

In a telephone interview with a Fox News correspondent, Trump:

We sent them a lot of weapons. We sent them through the Kurds. And I think the Kurds took them for themselves. We sent weapons to the protesters.

This revelation from the US President is "wonderful" in every way. Firstly, it confirms direct interference in the affairs of a sovereign state, and even attempts to support an armed rebellion. Secondly, it invalidates all Western claims against Tehran that Iranian law enforcement officers dealt harshly with protesters, as Iranian intelligence had discovered that they were armed from abroad. Thirdly, Trump essentially justified Iranian strikes on bases in Iraqi Kurdistan, through which weapons were supposed to flow into the Islamic Republic.

At the same time, Trump, continuing to lay his cards on the table, expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that the cargo allegedly remained in the Sulaymaniyah region in Iraqi Kurdistan, not far from the Iran-Iraq border.

Trump then went on to make threats against the Iraqi Kurds:

I am very upset. Those who held onto the weapons will pay a heavy price.

According to Trump, the operation's goal was to help Iranians resist the regime amid a brutal crackdown on protests.

Trump's statements come amid the recent escalation of tensions between the US, Israel, and Iran. Tehran is already using the American president's words as evidence that the protests in the country were inspired and supported from abroad. In the US itself, Trump has already been called a "re-qualified advocate" for Iran.

I predict that although I was not present at the last conversation between the Kremlin and the red-haired Satan from Washington on April 29, it is possible that the latter was present in Moscow at the Victory Day parade on May 9.
The Kremlin has agreed to compensate for the kerosene for the flight in exchange for future agreements on Banderasztat and the discussion of the IRI issue at a three-person meeting with Uncle Xi.
Oil, as usual, is more than 100 greenbacks per barrel.

Shrinkage, loss and breakage of glass containers.

I'm very upset. Those who held onto the guns will pay a heavy price.

It just begs to be asked: "So, Kurds, did your Americans help you?"

[Irokez]

Ah, so that's who's sponsoring the terrorists and separatists. So that's who the global evil is, forming the global axis of evil.

Well, somewhere the whole world assumed this before.
What I'm curious about is why he suddenly started admitting to things he usually keeps hidden. It's practically Irangate 2.0. I doubt it's out of stupidity—decades in business teach us what's okay to say and what's best to keep quiet about.
Most likely, it was just arrogance. To show that he didn't give a damn and didn't give a damn about anyone who dared to reproach him.
And a warning: "We'll arm the opposition in any country we don't like, and we'll get away with it."

[kosmozoo]

Most likely, it's just impudence.

Maybe Trump decided so. But, as Hajj Nasreddin wrote on his plaque, "You're an ass, but if you tell anyone about it, you'll be even more of an ass." So Trump is an ass, and he's whistling about it to the world.

Trump is taking relations with US intelligence and other interested parties to a fundamentally new level. After his latest spectacular speech, agents and residents of numerous US intelligence agencies should already be getting wiped out in the toilets.
Killing an American agent used to be a bit scary. It required a serious calculation of reactions, considering all the consequences... Now the people in the East have a much clearer mission. They need to take them all down; it's the only chance to survive the idiotic dances of the intelligence services, which are under orders from some crazy old man.
Dealing with the Americans now is like eating radioactive meat—death in excruciating pain is guaranteed. This old man not only gives outrageous orders, he also sells out anyone, completely unconcerned about the consequences of his chatter. Fantastic...

Next time let him pass the weapons through the gypsies.

Friends, Vera called. Her words: "Colleagues, May 1st was and remains my favorite holiday. I WISH HAPPINESS TO YOU ALL."
Friends and moderators, don't be angry that this is off topic.
Today, a more important number.
Our congratulations to Vera

They have a "nuthouse" in the US. It's a hobby to get someone from the Trump administration to talk through the press standing at the sides of the hallway. Hegzet was bombarded with questions about why you killed Iranian girls, screaming like victims. Others were yelling about why you blocked $400 million. Hypocrites! And Donya is a total ace in this business. The US has quietly transferred weapons to so many people throughout history. It's a rule with them.

[faterdom]

The Kurds committed an incredible sacrilege: They were the FIRST to abandon the Americans, without waiting for them to use them and abandon them.
And this breaks all the world's foundations, because it has always been the other way around.
So Trump's anger is entirely justified—what if everyone starts doing this? Well, except Russia, of course, which, even to its own detriment, will keep even verbal promises without witnesses.

That's where you're mistaken. The Americans have already abandoned them with Kurdistan and the protection from the Turks in Syria and Iraq.

[Lako]

The Kurds simply realized that they might not have another chance to stock up on weapons.

[tralflot1832]

I don't remember how Irangate ended. It was 30-40 years ago.

[hector]

Kurds prepare for "democratization." Who will Trump tackle first, the Kurds or Cuba?

[drags33]

Donald's extreme insolence and egocentrism no longer amaze, but rather evoke a feeling of disgust... And now IT wanted to receive (and apparently still does!!!) the Nobel Peace Prize... More and more often, Orwell's novel "1984" comes to mind in this regard... The author was a visionary...

[Normal]

Donald, hold on, are there so many of your fans here? Every third one is a mattress, in theory. Hot young cypsos fans, seasoned men with, God forgive me, Latin-script nicknames, and some outright thrice-overwhelming scum. Long live the VO admins! Every third comment is on a topical issue, and Vadim is hiding.

[Zheka111]

A couple of Kurdish leaders will be killed with kinetic weapons from the air and that's it.

[Dmitry Smirnov_2]

Happy May Day, comrades, Happy Labor Day.

[Word]

One hundred percent, the weapons are already on the outskirts or with another gang, and the Pindostan hasn't been involved since 14.

[snow mountain]

The Kurds stole American weapons.

Finally got to the Kurds! They're also America's allies! The same fate awaits the Jews. Trump will throw them under the baseboard.

Never before had GRU Colonel Donald Fredovich Trump been so close to failure...
