In a recent statement, former U.S. President Donald Trump asserted that weapons intended for the Iranian populace were not delivered as planned, alleging that intermediaries retained the arms for themselves.
Trump remarked, “We sent a little bit of weaponry. It was supposed to reach the Iranian people. You know what happened? Those through whom we sent it kept it for themselves.” His comments reflect his frustration over the failure of this initiative.
Expressing anger over the situation, Trump warned that those responsible would face severe consequences. He stated, “I am very angry at a certain group of people, and they will pay a high price for this.” This statement underscores the former president’s dissatisfaction with the outcome of the arms transfer.
Additionally, Trump suggested that the provision of arms could have significantly altered the internal dynamics within Iran. He claimed that if the Iranian people had access to weapons, they would quickly rise against the government. “If they had weapons, Iran would surrender in two seconds,” he concluded.
