Iraq's PM Advisor: Iran's attack on Erbil is a major violation of our sovereignty

Shafaq News/ The Iraqi Prime Minister's advisor, Khaled Al-Yaqoubi, strongly condemns Iran's attack on Erbil, describing it as a "significant violation" of the sovereignty and principles of good neighborliness.

Al-Yaqoubi states that the Iranian security leaders "misled" their leaders to hide their "lack of covering up the circumstances of the Kerman attack." He highlighted that this recent bombing would significantly affect relations between Baghdad and Tehran.

In an interview with the Al Jazeera TV channel, the Iraqi advisor said this attack is "unacceptable."

"If Iran's claims are correct, it does not give it the right to violate the Iraqi sovereignty, bombing Erbil and exposing innocent civilians to dangers." He pointed out.

Al-Yaqoubi conveyed that Iraq will take all necessary measures to preserve its sovereignty.

Iran launched missile strikes late Monday, targeting what it claimed was Israeli "spy headquarters" near the U.S. Consulate in Erbil, the capital of The Kurdistan Region. The attacks resulted in casualties, with four civilians reported dead and six injured in an upscale area near the consulate, according to the Kurdish regional government's security council.
