The Mossad armed Kurdish militias with weapons seized during the war from the terrorist organizations Hamas in the Gaza Strip and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The move to arm the militias was carried out as part of a broader plan intended to bring about the toppling of the regime in Iran. As part of the assistance, the Kurdish militias received financial support, vehicles, and were supplied with light weapons, anti-tank missiles, grenades, and mortar shells.
The American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was also actively involved in the security plan to arm the Kurds.
Despite cooperation between the intelligence agencies, the joint program was not fully implemented and was ultimately canceled at the political level in the United States. U.S. President Donald Trump was the one who decided to cancel the program entirely.
The cancellation of the operation by President Trump came following heavy pressure from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Turkish pressure led to a halt in the transfer of equipment and weapons, and the Mossad and CIA were forced to end the joint program...

I hope that this is a slight of hand by Trump and these weapons will make their way into the Iranian People (Immortal Guards), and that Trump’s ‘Hudna’ against the IRGC will facilitate the uprising against them. The only way the Regime falls is if the People take it down, one brick at a time, and one murderer at a time. All of America’s Might will not eradicate them. only from within will they fall.
If the Persians in Iran do not retake their country, no one can do it for them. Arming outsiders seems foolish. There needs to be a plan to arm Persians and give them intel on where to attack and suggested strategies.
A Kurdish invasion into Iran’s east would have forced a significant response from Iran’s army and IRGC, allowing US airpower to crush them. When the Kurds didn’t go, the odds of overthrowing the regime dropped drastically.
What America’s might is supposed to do is weaken them to the point where under-trained, poorly armed militias such as the Immortal Guard have a chance to take them down.
But no ground wars. Oh, no. Unless it’s to secure the Strait and Kharg Island, ground wars are up to the militias.
That’s how America’s Revolution was won. The French blockaded the Royal Navy, and the Colonials accepted the surrender.
“The cancellation of the operation by President Trump came following heavy pressure from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.”
Does this mean we can use their airbases at will?
Will they let us stage a ginormous Special Operations contingent in Van, Turkey...a mere 500 miles from Tehran and 40 miles from the Iranian border?
They damn well better.
“There needs to be a plan to arm Persians and give them intel on where to attack and suggested strategies.”
They also need to be able to call in unlimited US air support...by embedded CIA and Special Operations.
Possible, but no sources cited in the article.
The Kurds are part of Iran, Turkey, Iraq, Syria, and even a little bit of Russia. That’s why they weren’t a good conduit for weapons, because even if every last bulllet reaches the Immortal Guard, it complicates things in Turkey, Iraq and Syria. I nominate Kuwait, which Iran has already attacked, as the gun port.
Doing anything that Erdogan wants is not in America’s interest.
I see his point, though. Complicated enough just dealing with the Ayatoilets and their proxies, without getting this jackass’ (Erdogan’s) panties bunched and having him mix in. But I a hundred percent agree regarding Erdogan. His uppance will come one day.
The ancient ancestors of the Kurds were the Medes. They play a big role in the last days before Jesus Christ’s return (Isaiah 13)
That’s right. Each country has to liberate themselves.
The biggest democracy in the world (5 times more population than any other democracy) liberated themselves from British colonial rule without any external help. Alright, the British military might have been exhausted after WW-II, which made it a bit easier for India to gain independence in 1947.
We’ve moved on from that and are now rounding up ISIS members in Syria and training them in Iraq to be deployed against the Iranian regime. But I doubt this will be successful either.

Sounds psychotic. Absolutely not.
Well that’s what is currently happening. Things must be getting desperate if we are reduced to bringing ISIS into this.

I agree.
