Trump admits US sent arms to Iran protesters but says Kurds kept the weapons. On 5 April, 2026, US President Trump admitted for the first time during an interview with Fox News that the United States attempted to ship "a lot of guns" to anti-government protesters in Iran.
While confirming the intent to arm the uprising that began in late 2025, Trump claimed the operation failed because the Kurds, who were used as the delivery channel, "kept the weapons" for themselves instead of passing them to the demonstrators.
This blunt disclosure not only provides the Iranian government with direct evidence of US interference but also publicly blames the US’s Kurdish allies for the missing arms.
Iranian Kurdish groups reject Trump claim they received US weapons to aid Iran riots
Leaders of Iranian Kurdish parties have denied reports that they were given weapons by the US to support riots inside Iran, contradicting claims made by US President Donald Trump.
According to media reports, Siamand Moeini, a senior figure in the armed Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK), said the group had not received any weapons and declined to speak for others. Hana Yazdanpanah, foreign relations coordinator for the Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK), added that their arsenal remains limited to older weapons used in the fight against ISIS and those abandoned after the group’s defeat. Both parties insisted they have not received any support from the US.
