The Zioneer has previously reported on similar strikes in the region. On July 21, a report citing Aviv described suicide drones hitting Kurdish opposition targets in northern Iraq, causing fires. Earlier, on June 7, Iranian missiles struck Kurdish opposition bases near Erbil, according to the Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK). Such targeting of Iranian Kurdish opposition groups operating in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq has been a recurring pattern, often attributed to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
