Iranian sources report that three strikes were carried out from Iran against the headquarters of armed Kurdish parties allied with Israel in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan. Footage circulating on Iranian networks purportedly shows one of the attacks. The claims are unverified.
Iranian sources claim that three separate strikes were launched from Iranian territory targeting the headquarters of armed Kurdish parties with reported ties to Israel in Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. The attacks, according to the same sources, hit facilities affiliated with Kurdish opposition groups that Iran has long accused of hosting Israeli-linked operatives. Footage circulated on Iranian social media networks purports to show one of the strikes.
This report follows a pattern of Iranian attacks on Kurdish opposition positions in northern Iraq over recent days. On June 10, The Zioneer reported footage of an Iranian drone strike south of Erbil, while on June 8, explosive drones hit an Iranian Kurdish opposition camp north of the city. Previous unverified accounts also described ballistic missile strikes on Kurdish opposition headquarters on June 10.
Iran has periodically targeted Iranian-Kurdish opposition parties based in Iraqi Kurdistan, which Tehran accuses of collaborating with Israel and fomenting unrest inside Iran. The current salvo appears to resume that campaign, though the extent of damage and casualties from these latest strikes remains unconfirmed. No independent verification or official Iraqi or Kurdish response has been reported at this stage.
