Arab Parliament condemns Iranian attacks on Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan
Arab Parliament chief warns of Iranian escalation and urges global action to prevent further attacks in the region.
Iran has been launching a series of drone and missile attacks on the Kurdistan Region of Iraq to transform Iraq into a buffer zone and spread the conflict, according to analysis. The Iranian attacks have been ongoing since February, with over 1,000 strikes targeting the region. The Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran (KDPI) has been a primary target, with numerous attacks reported overnight in Erbil, the capital of the autonomous Kurdistan Region.
The recent escalation of US-Iran tensions has fueled these attacks, with Iran and its proxies in Iraq launching about 900 strikes in the summer. Iran claims these strikes are in response to the presence of Kurdish Iranian opposition groups in Iraq, but the attacks have extended beyond opposition camps to include areas around Erbil, Sulaimaniyah, and Duhok, even striking US diplomatic and military facilities.
This ongoing campaign has put immense pressure on the Kurdistan Regional Government and strained Iraq's relations with the US and its neighbors, with calls for Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi to bring all armed groups under state authority.
