Iranian Regime Confirms Strikes on Iranian Kurdish Opposition Positions in Iraq’s Sulaymaniyah

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has officially confirmed carrying out strikes against Iranian Kurdish opposition positions within Iraq’s Sulaymaniyah province. The announcement followed reports of drone attacks on bases allegedly used by these groups in northern Iraq.

The IRGC stated that the operations were directed at facilities associated with opposition factions. These groups are accused by Iran of posing security threats and conducting activities across the border into Iranian territory. This action represents a continuation of cross-border operations by the IRGC over the past three months, underscoring Iran's ongoing concerns about armed groups operating along its borders.

As of now, there has been no independent verification of the extent of damage or any casualties resulting from these strikes. Iraqi authorities in the Kurdistan Region have not yet released a detailed statement regarding the incident. The development intensifies existing regional tensions involving Iran and various armed groups, particularly in northern Iraq, where security operations have seen an increase in recent months.
