A Hebrew-language security channel relayed an Arabic report in which Iraqi analyst Kazem al-Hajj claimed that the United States is transferring weapons from Syria into Iraq to support separatist groups. The report also names Tom Barrack, a Trump administration envoy for the Middle East, as allegedly involved behind the scenes in the arms transfer route. The claims are attributed to a single unnamed Arabic source and have not been independently verified.
