Iran bombed Kurdish opposition headquarters in Erbil and other Kurdish cities in northern Iraq overnight, according to a report. The strikes targeted command centers, the report said, adding that the attacks demonstrate Iran's awareness of ongoing activity in the area.
The overnight bombing follows a report at 10:33 Jerusalem time that Iranian strikes on Kurdish targets in Erbil had intensified overnight. That assessment, by the Abu Saleh Arabic Desk, stated that Iran was using intelligence from multiple countries to enable precise hits and assessed that a ground operation was a matter of time.
The attacks are part of a broader pattern of Iranian strikes against Kurdish opposition groups in northern Iraq, as The Zioneer has reported. Iran has repeatedly targeted Kurdish opposition bases in the Erbil area, using ballistic missiles and drones. The latest strikes come amid heightened regional tensions.
