Iraq, Kurds say country not a launchpad against neighbors
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Iraqi government and the autonomous Kurdistan region say that Iraq must not be a launchpad for attacks against neighboring countries, following reports that militants might attempt to cross into Iran.
Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani and Kurdistan’s regional president Nechirvan Barzani agreed in a phone call “that Iraqi territory must not be used as a launching point for attacks against neighboring countries,” the premier’s media office says.
Tehran threatened earlier today to target “all the facilities” of Iraq’s autonomous region if exiled Kurdish Iranian militants were allowed to enter Iran.
