IRGC drone strikes target Kurdish opposition headquarters in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan

Primary source Internal intake · 2 reviewed intake signals · Desk window 22:42

TL;DR

Shiite sources report that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) conducted drone strikes against headquarters of Iranian-Kurdish opposition groups in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan, according to a single source. Details on damage or casualties are not yet available.

01 · THE DISPATCH

A single Shiite-source report, received at 22:40 Jerusalem time, states that the IRGC carried out drone strikes against command centers of Iranian Kurdish opposition groups in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan. The report does not specify the number of drones, the precise targets, or any resulting casualties or damage.

This is the latest in a series of reported Iranian attacks on Kurdish opposition targets in the Erbil area over the past days. As The Zioneer has reported (Jun 7–15), multiple strikes — missile, drone, and explosive drone — have been reported against bases and camps of Iranian Kurdish groups in northern Iraq, with Iran describing them as operations against armed Kurdish parties allied with Israel. The current report has not been independently verified and follows a pattern of unverified Iranian announcements regarding these operations.
