According to the Israeli security and Middle East analysis channel Abu Ali Express, attacks on Kurdish-held targets in Erbil, northern Iraq, continue nightly despite the ongoing ceasefire between Iran and the United States. The assessment states that both Iran and its Iraqi proxies are carrying out the strikes, which have also hit direct American interests, but neither side has claimed responsibility. The analyst notes that the United States has remained silent, allowing the pattern to continue, and that Iran is effectively setting the terms on the ground.
Abu Ali Express, a well-known Israeli security and Middle East analysis channel, reported on Tuesday morning that despite the ceasefire between Iran and the United States in recent days, Kurdish targets in Erbil, northern Iraq, continue to be attacked every night. The assessment states that these attacks have also targeted direct American interests in the region.
According to the analysis, both Iran and its Iraqi proxy militias are responsible for the strikes on Kurdish positions, but neither side has volunteered to claim responsibility. The analyst notes that the United States has remained silent, enabling the attacks to persist, and that Iran is effectively dictating the terms of engagement on the ground.
As The Zioneer reported earlier this morning, Iranian forces were firing at a high rate toward Kurdish targets in Erbil, though specific targets and extent of damage remained unverified at the time. The current assessment provides broader context, attributing the sustained campaign to Iran's strategy of setting new equations in the region while facing no apparent American response.
The situation in Iraqi Kurdistan has been a recurring flashpoint amid the broader U.S.-Iran confrontation. The Zioneer has previously covered U.S. air defense interceptions of Iranian ballistic missiles and drones in northern Iraq, as well as the expansion of U.S. strikes across southern Iran, which remain ongoing.
