Iran strikes Iranian opposition group Kurdistan Freedom Party in latest attack

Iran has carried out new attacks targeting Kurdish Iranian opposition groups, including the Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK) in the Balisan Valley northeast of Erbil. This follows a series of attacks on other Kurdish opposition groups such as the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (PDKI), Komala, and Khabat. Iran has also pressured Iraq to expel Kurdish Iranian opposition groups, although Iraq has not yet acted on this request.

The PAK, an Iranian Kurdish opposition group that has operated for decades from the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, advocates for Kurdish self-determination and has maintained an armed fighting force.
