I asked Sec Rubio about claims that the U.S. provided weapons to Kurdish groups to pass on to the Iranian people something Kurdish parties deny. Sec. Rubio didn’t directly confirm any transfer. Instead, he said Donald Trump “wants the Iranian people to have the ability to fight against what is happening to them,” describing Iran’s government as “a brutal regime” that “kills people in the streets” and “hangs people by cranes.” He added that this goal is “separate from the specific things that were being done in this operation before they concluded, and certainly separate from the operation that is currently ongoing.”

Truly saddened to hear of the passing of Senator Lindsey Graham. He was a dedicated public servant, a steadfast advocate for America’s interests, and a true friend of the Kurdish people. My thoughts and deepest condolences are with his family, loved ones, and all who knew him. May he rest in peace.

Assistant Secretary of War Dan Zimmerman on Tuesday offered one of the strongest public affirmations yet of the U.S.-Kurdish security partnership, telling lawmakers the United States would be “hard-pressed to find a more willing and capable group” than the Iraqi Kurds and Peshmerga. The remarks came after US Rep. Mike Turner raised concerns during a congressional hearing over continued U.S. support for Kurdish allies amid proposed counter-ISIS funding reductions.
