Iranian Drones Target Kurdistan PM's Office, Intelligence Chief's Home

Two Iranian drones targeted the Iraqi Kurdistan prime minister's office and the home of the autonomous region's intelligence chief overnight, authorities said Monday.

 "Following an investigation by the Kurdistan Counter-Terrorism Unit, my personal office and the home of the head of the Security and Intelligence Agency were targeted by Iranian drone attacks earlier today," Kurdistan Prime Minister Masrour Barzani said, in a post on X.

Drones have repeatedly been intercepted over Kurdistan's



capital Erbil, while others have struck the rebels and US interests. 

Tehran accuses the exiled Kurdish opposition groups of serving Western and Israeli interests, and continued to launch strikes against them even during a regional ceasefire announced in April, which eventually broke down. 

The groups have mostly evacuated their bases and camps in Kurdistan since the war began. On July 17, drone and rocket strikes killed nine people near the city of Sulaimaniyah in the region's east.
