We strongly condemn the Iranian missile attack that targeted the headquarters of the Peshmerga forces in Soran this morning, claiming the lives of a number of heroic Peshmergas and leaving others wounded. We extend our deepest condolences to the families of the martyrs and wish a speedy recovery to the injured.
The Kurdistan Region has always been a factor of peace and stability. We are committed to a policy of non-involvement and conflict avoidance, and we pose no threat to the security of neighboring countries. Therefore, this attack is a direct hostile aggression against the sovereignty of the country and has no justification and is completely contrary to the principles of good neighborliness.
We call on the Iraqi Federal Government and the international community to intensify their efforts to prevent the repetition of these violations and protect the sovereignty of Iraq and the Kurdistan Region.
Nechirvan Barzani
President of the Kurdistan Region
