Despite Trump statements, US president vetoed Kurdish uprising, sources confirm to 'Post'
Despite publicly blaming the Kurds, President Trump vetoed the idea of facilitating a Kurdish-led uprising against Iran, sources confirm.
Assessment
The revelation that Trump blocked a Kurdish uprising against Iran, despite his public posture, exposes a gap between rhetoric and policy. This suggests the administration prioritized stability and non-escalation with Iran over leveraging Kurdish forces. The key question is whether this decision reflects a broader strategic restraint or simply tactical caution.
