Do protestors even know how to use automatic weapons?

Why would the junta send young college kids assault weapons?

Weapons would be sent to guerrillas, not demonstrators.

Earlier this year Dummkopf Trumpf ordered Starlink systems to be smuggled to the protestors in Iran.

The natural pipeline would be through northern Iraq.

This is where the Kurdish resistance groups operate: PKK against Turkiye and PJAK against Iran.

When the PJAK Kurds saw the Starlink devices, they shrugged their soldiers, took the money, and smuggled the boxes into Iran.

When the PJAK Kurds saw the weapons and ammunition, they shrugged their soldiers, took the money, and then kept the weapons for themselves.

The other two groups the sinister Trumpf junta may have used to smuggle weapons into Iran are the MEK (jerks operating out of Albania) or Baloch separatists operating near the Iranian-Pakistani border.
