Iran's drone strike on Kurds may be warning over Trump administration's backchannel, analyst says
Two drones targeted the office of Masrour Barzani, the Kurdistan Regional Government's prime minister, and the home of the region's intelligence chief in northern Iraq on Monday.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi dismissed the drone attack on the Kurdistan Democratic Party leader's office, stating that "Kurdish friends" should be vigilant against false-flag ploys aimed at sowing discord between neighbors. The attack, launched from Iranian territory, targeted the office of Masrour Barzani and the region's intelligence chief.
Security analyst Roger Macmillan criticized the Iranian response, stating that it lacked forensic details and accused Iran of using a false-flag narrative to punish the KRG leadership for communicating with the Trump administration.
