Iraq, Iran discuss drone attack on Kurdish PM's office

Iraq's Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein spoke with his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi regarding the recent drone strikes targeting the Kurdistan prime minister's office in Erbil. The Iraqi Foreign Ministry reported that Hussein sought clarification on Iran's stance on the attack, which allegedly targeted both the prime minister's residence and personal office.

Hussein emphasized that such an attack could have "negative repercussions on Iraq's security and the stability of the region." In response, Araghchi expressed surprise at the incident and stated that he lacked information indicating the attacks originated from Iranian territory. He stressed that there is "no justification for such actions, given the strong and positive relations between the Iranian government and the Kurdistan Regional Government."

This development follows Iran's own condemnation of the drone attack on Barzani's residence, describing it as a "highly suspicious development that requires vigilant and precise response."
