Statement by Prime Minister Masrour Barzani on Iran’s attack on Erbil

Earlier this evening, Erbil was once again attacked by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps. Sadly, during tonight’s unjustifiable attack, several civilians have been martyred and wounded.

My thoughts are with the families of the martyrs and I wish the injured a quick recovery. I condemn this cowardly attack on the people of the Kurdistan Region in the strongest terms.

I urge the federal government in Baghdad to take a principled position against the flagrant violation of Iraq’s and the Kurdistan Region’s sovereignty. I also call on our partners in the international community not to remain silent in the face of repeated attacks against the people of Kurdistan.

In the next few days, we will work with our partners in the international community to stop these brutal attacks against our innocent people.

Masrour Barzani
