Jinamedia – News and Analysis Department: In a new political and military development, the emergence of contradictory statements by U.S. President Donald Trump regarding the Kurdish role in Iran’s internal changes has sparked a significant backlash in political circles. While Trump publicly blames Kurdish factions for "not supporting the uprising," new evidence points to a contrary reality.
According to a report by the Jerusalem Post, despite a proposal to support a nationwide Kurdish-led uprising against the Iranian regime, Donald Trump himself vetoed the plan and blocked its implementation.
Turkish Pressure and the Pentagon’s Stance
Diplomatic sources indicate that Trump's withdrawal was not merely an internal decision; Turkey played a key role in pressuring the White House to prevent any form of Kurdish military or political empowerment in the region. Simultaneously, senior officials at the U.S. Department of Defense (Pentagon) also disagreed with the plan to arm and support Kurdish forces for that purpose.
The Mossad Conflict and the Final Decision
This comes at a time when Israel's Mossad and high-ranking military officials had exerted significant effort to convince the U.S. to support an internal uprising as a strategy to topple the Tehran regime. Ultimately, however, Trump chose to veto the option instead of offering support, signaling a shift in political balances and the influence of regional powers on U.S. decisions.
Observers believe that Trump’s remarks and his accusations against the Kurds are merely an attempt to deflect blame from his administration and conceal the fact that the U.S. itself hindered a radical change at the hands of Kurdish forces.

Headline: Despite Trump’s Remarks, the U.S. President Vetoed the Kurdish Uprising Plan
On Monday, while speaking to reporters, Donald Trump attacked Kurdish groups for their alleged failure to cooperate in an internal uprising against the Iranian regime. However, sources told the Jerusalem Post that Trump himself ultimately vetoed and blocked the idea.
Foreign sources mentioned that the Israeli Mossad had proposed supporting an uprising to overthrow the Iranian regime, synchronized with popular protests. However, Turkey pressured Trump not to execute that option.
Senior Israeli military and intelligence officials tried to persuade Trump for the U.S. to engage more effectively in the conflict, but top Pentagon officials opposed the Kurdish plan, leading Trump to stand against it.
Trump publicly confirmed that they had provided weapons to the Kurds but later accused them of not rising up, while evidence shows he was the one who halted the plan. It appears the U.S. President is attempting to evade responsibility regarding why the Iranian regime remains in power.
