The Kurdistan National Congress (KNK) has issued a strong rejection of recent remarks made by US President Donald Trump, who claimed that Kurdish groups failed to support Iranian opposition forces during the US-Israeli conflict. The KNK stated that Trump's accusations could place the entire Kurdish population under suspicion and harm the established Kurdish-American relations. In a statement, the KNK emphasized that its affiliated organizations have not participated in any activities related to the alleged transfer of weapons. Trump's comments, made during a White House address, expressed disappointment with Kurdish groups, suggesting they only act when financially incentivized. This controversy arises amidst ongoing tensions in West Asia involving Iran, Israel, and US interests, with Kurdish leaders denying any receipt of US arms for anti-regime efforts in Iran. The KNK urged Trump to avoid generalizations and to specify the groups he was referencing, while reaffirming their commitment to a legitimate struggle for freedom and maintaining diplomatic relations without being viewed as instruments of external powers.
