Iranian drones reportedly target Iraq’s Erbil and Sulaymaniyah

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – Two explosive-laden drones targeted areas in northern Iraq on Wednesday, November 4, targeting Iranian Kurdish resistance organizations in Sulaymaniyah and eastern Erbil, according to security sources.

The bombings targeted Iranian Kurdish opposition members living in Iraq, where many groups have established a foothold after fleeing nearby Iran.

Iran has routinely targeted Iranian Kurdish opposition organizations operating in Iraq, accusing them of conducting assaults over the border into Iran.

While the source of Wednesday’s drone assaults has not been independently verified, the episodes are consistent with earlier Iranian operations in Iraq’s Kurdistan Region.

Such dangerous cross-border strikes raise worries about breaches of Iraq’s sovereignty, since foreign military activities on Iraqi land without Baghdad’s authorization jeopardize the country’s territorial integrity.

The new instances underline Iraq’s ongoing security concerns, as tensions between Iran and Iranian Kurdish opposition organizations spread over the border.
