For several days the Iranian forces have been

in the border area between Iran and the Kurdistan
Region in Iraq. The shelling has inflicted
considerable damage and has forced frightened
villagers to flee their homes.
The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) condemns the
bombardments and has protested to the Islamic
Republic of Iran through our official representative
in Tehran. We have demanded that Iran immediately
cease this unwarranted military action that is
harming innocent civilians and is a violation of the
Kurdistan Region's and Iraq's sovereignty. krg org
