Iran intercepts US-made weapons transported by Iraqi groups

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, IRGC, says it has seized US-made weapons which were being transported into Iran by northern Iraqi counter-revolutionary groups.

The semi-official Iranian news agency, Fars, disclosed this on Monday.

The IRGC stated that the groups were hit in the Kurdistan province, where a large amount of weapons and ammunition were discovered and confiscated.

Meanwhile,  the IRGC accused the group moving the weapons of working on behalf of the US and Israel.

At the time of filing this report, the US is yet to comment officially on the specific Iranian claims.

It will be recalled that United States President Donald Trump said in April that the US sought to arm Iranian protesters earlier this year, while saying the weapons largely fell into the hands of Iran’s Kurds.
