Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian says that Tehran shared intelligence with Baghdad about what it said were activities of the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad in Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdish region.
Iran has said its Revolutionary Guards attacked Israel’s “spy HQ” in Iraq in the city of Erbil on Monday. Iraq later denied that there was any such spy center in the country.
Speaking in Davos, Amir-Abdollahian also says that his country’s armed forces targeted an “Iranian terrorist group” in Pakistan the day before, after Islamabad said the strike killed two children.
“On Pakistan, none of the nationals of the friendly and brotherly country of Pakistan were targeted by Iranian missiles and drones,” Amir-Abdollahian says on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
“The so-called Jaish al-Adl group, which is an Iranian terrorist group, was targeted,” he adds.
