WSJ: Trump Weighing Support for Armed Groups Inside Iran, Including Kurdish Forces

The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that President Trump is considering providing support to armed groups operating inside Iran, citing U.S. officials. Trump has been in contact with Kurdish leaders and other regional actors who may seek to exploit what Washington describes as the Islamic Republic's vulnerabilities. Kurdish forces maintain a significant presence near the Iraq-Iran border, and recent attacks in western Iran have fueled speculation about shifting battlefield dynamics. No final decision has been made on whether Washington will offer material assistance — such as weapons, training, or intelligence — to anti-regime groups.
