Iraqi Kurds Who Oppose US-Israel Against Iran Are Terrorized by Murder

JAKARTA - The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) condemned the drone attack on the President of the semi-autonomous Kurdish region in northern Iraq, Nechirvan Barzani.

According to the Press TV news agency, the IRGC blamed the US and Israel for the attack and described it as an assassination attempt and "clear act of terrorism" targeting Nechirvan's residence in Duhok.

The IRGC assessed that the US-Israel had again carried out a "pattern of cowardly murder" by targeting government officials such as senior Iranian officials.

According to the IRGC, the "evil attempt" aims to undermine peace, stability, and regional cooperation between the Kurdish region and neighboring countries.

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, who spoke with Nechirvan after the attack on Saturday morning, has ordered an investigation.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.

The assassination attempt on Nechirvan comes amid a surge in attacks on Iranian-allied armed groups and Kurdish forces in Iraq as the US-Israeli war against Iran spreads to the neighboring country.
