Claim 1: “The New York Times said on March 5 that even before the United States and Israel launched their operation against Iran, US intelligence had secretly begun arming Iranian Kurdish units”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While the evidence confirms the existence of a 'US-Israel war on Iran' starting in February 2026 and the existence of The New York Times, none of the provided search results or Wikipedia entries contain the specific report from March 5 regarding the arming of Iranian Kurdish units.
