• Punch Newspapers • Politics
Former President Donald Trump revealed that the United States made an effort to supply arms to Iranian protesters but ultimately lost track of the weapons. During an Easter event at the White House, Trump expressed frustration over the situation, indicating that the armaments were intended to assist anti-government protests in Iran, allowing the protesters to defend themselves against what he described as "thugs." Trump did not provide specific details regarding how the weapons were lost but mentioned that a Kurdish intermediary was responsible for diverting the arms away from their intended recipients, the Iranian dissidents. This statement highlights ongoing tensions regarding U.S. involvement in foreign protests and the complexities of arms distribution in conflict zones.
