US President Donald Trump has admitted he has no clear knowledge of the current status of American weapons sent abroad as part of a failed attempt to support an uprising in Iran. Speaking to reporters on Friday, Trump expressed frustration with Kurdish groups tasked with delivering the weapons to Iranian anti-government protesters, saying they failed to do so. He acknowledged dissatisfaction with the arms supply process and said it remains unclear who now possesses the weapons.

The weapons were reportedly sent to a Kurdish group in northern Iraq under the condition that they would be transferred to Iranian protesters. Trump had earlier revealed in April that the United States had sent large quantities of arms, suggesting that Kurdish forces might have kept them. Since the start of the conflict with Iran on February 28, the US military has lost advanced equipment worth billions of dollars, including an F-35A fighter jet and multiple MQ-9 Reaper drones.

Pentagon officials recently informed Congress that US losses in the conflict are estimated at $25 billion, while CNN reported that total damages, including destroyed infrastructure, could reach $40–50 billion.
