Tensions Rise in Iraqi Kurdistan as Iran Continues Strikes on Kurdish Opposition Groups

Iran launched drones at a camp belonging to the Komala of the Toilers of Kurdistan in Sulaymaniyah Governorate on September 7, damaging a building but causing no reported injuries. Iranian Kurdish opposition groups say their camps have repeatedly been targeted since the US-Israeli war with Iran began in February. Tehran views the armed groups as a threat and has pressed Baghdad to disarm and relocate them. The recent US troop withdrawal from Iraq has added to concerns about security in the semi-autonomous Kurdistan Region.
