According to Yingst’s account of their conversation, Trump emphasised that “a lot of guns” were provided, not only to protesters but also to Kurds, adding that he believed Kurdish forces may have kept those weapons. The remarks highlight what would represent a significant and controversial escalation in U.S. involvement, suggesting direct material support to opposition groups inside Iran.
