Iran again shelled Iranian Kurdish opposition groups based in neighboring Iraqi Kurdistan overnight from Sunday to Monday, a week after similar attacks, the groups and local officials said.
“The Revolutionary Guards have again bombarded the Iranian Kurdish parties,” the Iraqi Kurdistan anti-terror services said, without mentioning the number of victims of these attacks that occurred around midnight.
On Monday before dawn, the Iraqi state news agency INA also reported on the Iranian raids, referring to “Iranian missile strikes and drone strikes” against “three Iranian opposition parties in Kurdistan” of Iraq.
“Indiscriminate attacks”
As early as November 14, missile and drone attacks carried out by Tehran against Iranian Kurdish opposition groups left one dead and eight wounded in Iraqi Kurdistan. Similar strikes had taken place on September 28.
The PDKI confirmed on Twitter on Monday that it had been attacked in Koya and Jejnikan, near Erbil, the Kurdistan regional capital, by “kamikaze missile and drone fire.”
“These indiscriminate attacks come at a time when the Iranian terrorist regime is unable to stop the ongoing demonstrations in Kurdistan,” Iran criticized the PDKI, Iran’s oldest Kurdish party founded in 1945.
The Iranian government accuses these opposition groups, which have long been in its sights, of fueling unrest in Iran, which has been facing protests since the death on September 16 of the young Iranian Kurdish Mahsa Amini, detained by the customs police in Tehran. .
