Iraq, Iran, US condemn drone attack on Kurdistan PM's office, as Sept. 30 disarmament deadline looms

Iraq has launched an investigation into a drone attack on the office of its Kurdistan prime minister, Masrour Barzani, and the home of the region's intelligence chief. Iran has accused Tehran of orchestrating the attack, which it claims originated from its territory. This comes as both nations condemn the incident, with Iran's foreign minister stating that the attack is a "highly suspicious development" that threatens the relationship between the two nations.

The United States has also condemned the attack, with its envoy to Iraq calling it "unacceptable" and a threat to regional stability. Iraq's Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi has formed an investigative committee to identify the sources of the attack. The deadline for Iran-backed militias to disarm in Iraq is September 30, as the US-led coalition's mission in the country is set to end.
