President Trump on Sunday told Fox News that the US sent "a lot of guns" to Iranian "protesters" through the Kurds.

"We sent them a lot of guns, we sent them through the Kurds," Trump told Fox News reporter Trey Yingst. "And I think the Kurds took the guns."

Israel's Channel 14 reported in January that "foreign actors" were "arming the protesters in Iran with live firearms, which is the reason for the hundreds of regime personnel killed."

We reported tonight on Channel 14: foreign actors are arming the protesters in Iran with live firearms, which is the reason for the hundreds of regime personnel killed.

Everyone is free to guess who is behind it.

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, referencing the "riots" in Iran, also wrote on X in early January, "Happy New Year to every Iranian in the streets. Also to every Mossad agent walking beside them."

Of course, this implies that many of the "protesters" Iran killed were actually armed rioters.

Ben Shapiro just last month urged Trump to arm Iran's minority populations and use them as a weapon against the Persian majority (where have we seen that before?).

"Iran is actually less Persian than America is white," Shapiro noted.

Mark Levin, who does all his shows for an audience of one, also urged Trump to arm the Iranian "protesters" just last night:

Mark Levin on Iran War: "There's been nothing but military success—period—on a scale and in a matter never seen in military combat, I don't believe. It is a spectacular military success, despite the naysayers."

Nonetheless, we can't entertain "offramps" or "ceasefires," he adds.… pic.twitter.com/hRkR78Arlm

Levin, who is just a mouthpiece for the Israeli government, also lobbied the president to establish military bases in Israel and set up a permanent "military presence" near Iran to strike them at any time.

Mark Levin says that to keep Iran contained, the US may have to set up a military base in Israel and establish a "military presence" near Iran to strike them at any time.

He says he's just putting it out there (and doesn't mention the Israelis proposed exactly this last week.) pic.twitter.com/2D7lbPgUCP

Levin's proposal matched up exactly with plans from the Israeli government urging the US to set up permanent military bases in their country to tie us down forever in the region.

Oh, my proposal just so happens to align exactly with the proposal from the Israeli govt last week? Oh geez, gee golly whiz! I'm no expert, I'm just a simple newsman who only cares about keeping America safe! I guess US-Israeli interests just so happen to overlap perfectly! pic.twitter.com/Ou3QjVmFdJ
