On Tuesday, March 3, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing U.S. officials, that Donald Trump, the President of the United States, is considering support for armed groups within Iran.

According to the report, Trump has recently made phone calls to Kurdish leaders and continues to reach out to other regional (local) actors who may attempt to exploit what the U.S. sees as the "vulnerability of the Islamic Republic."

Axios had previously reported for the first time on Trump's phone calls with Masoud Barzani and Bafel Talabani, leaders of the Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan in Iraq here.

The Wall Street Journal noted that Kurdish forces have a significant presence near the Iraq-Iran border, and recent attacks in western Iran have fueled speculation about the impact of changes in the battlefield dynamics on potential advancements.

The Wall Street Journal reported that no final decision has yet been made regarding whether Washington will provide material support, such as weapons, training, or intelligence, to opposition groups. U.S. officials say these matters are still under review.
