Iran has carried out missile strikes targeting bases of Kurdish armed opposition groups in Iraq’s autonomous Kurdistan region, according to the country’s state television, as reported by Al Jazeera. The attacks were directed at groups that Tehran identifies as anti-Iranian separatist organizations operating in northern Iraq.

The strikes occurred amid reports that U.S. authorities have been coordinating with Iraq-based Kurdish opposition groups. These groups have reportedly indicated a willingness to participate in the ongoing conflict against Iran. The timing of the attack suggests heightened regional tension involving Iran, Iraq’s Kurdish region, and external actors.

Further details on the scale of the strikes, casualties, or official responses from Iraq or the Kurdish regional government were not provided in the report.
