Despite an attack while speaking to reporters by US President Donald Trump<\/a> on Monday against Kurdish<\/a> groups for allegedly failing to help with a local uprising against the Iranian<\/a> regime, sources have confirmed to The Jerusalem Post that he himself ultimately vetoed the idea.<\/p>\n

Foreign sources have widely reported that the Mossad<\/a> proposed the possibility of helping to facilitate toppling the regime aligned with turning out mass protests, following the US and Israeli bombing campaign against the regime’s forces.<\/p>\n

Further, foreign sources have widely reported that Turkey pressed Trump not to go forward with the option.<\/p>\n

Previously, the Post reported that IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir, Mossad Director David Barnea, and IDF Intelligence Directorate Chief Maj.-Gen. Shlomi Binder met with top US defense officials and, in some cases, via video conference with Trump, to help convince the US president to join the war.<\/p>\n

However, top US defense officials opposed the Kurdish plan from the start, which also led Trump, along with other factors, to oppose the plan.<\/p>\n

Strangely, Trump publicly confirmed providing weapons to the Kurds on Monday, but then veered off into claims that they had failed to rise up despite ample evidence and a record that he himself vetoed the idea.<\/p>\n

It was unclear why the US president made the claim, though he has tried to avoid blame for the Islamic regime remaining in power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Despite an attack while speaking to reporters by US President Donald Trump on Monday against Kurdish groups for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":436703,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[54,42,1031,87,35316,16096,43,157282,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-436702","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-donald-trump","tag-headlines","tag-idf","tag-iran","tag-kurds","tag-mossad","tag-news","tag-operation-epic-fury","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436702","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=436702"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436702\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/436703"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=436702"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=436702"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=436702"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
