United States President Donald Trump says Washington had armed Iranian opposition groups and protesters during mass antigovernment demonstrations in December and January, in which thousands of people were killed during crackdowns by government forces.
You’re justifying their executions if you claim they are being armed by foreign enemies. This helps no one but arms manufacturers.
Only if you’re incapable of holding two thoughts in your head at the same time.
Think of your average American.
Your average American would be wrong, too.
…and then realize half of them are stupider than that.
I didn’t listen too hard because a Trump supporter provided the information… but someone told me recently (yesterday) that Trump tried to arm a militia group who’d worked with the US in the past. Supposedly that group was supposed to arm the civilians but they kept the weapons for themselves.
Honestly, would be fucking crazy either way. Because, in that case, it sounds like Trump spooked the Iranian government into its atrocities.
Edit: they were talking about Iranian Kurdish opposition factions
Edit 2: this article brings it up https://nypost.com/2026/04/05/us-news/president-trump-reveals-us-attempted-to-funnel-weapons-to-iranian-protesters-claims-regime-slaughtered-45k/
My understanding was that the Syrian Kurds received the arms.
The Resistance in Iran is supposed to like the Iranian Kurds, but idk how they feel about the Syrians.
This is stuff I don’t actually understand however, I’m just parroting what I heard my Iranian American friends say.
