Iranian Kurdish politician claims Iran attacked party base in Iraq’s Erbil

A senior official in the Iranian Kurdish party Komala has alleged that Iran launched missile strikes on one of its bases in northern Iraq’s Erbil province.

Komala leader Amjad Hussein Panahi said in a Facebook post that two missiles struck the group’s Alana Valley headquarters in the Khalidan district at 10:40 p.m. local time (17:40 GMT).

He added that the incident raises the total number of reported Iranian missile and drone attacks on the group’s positions to more than 81.

The Kurdistan Freedom Party, another Iranian Kurdish opposition group based in Erbil city, said one of its bases was also struck earlier in the day.
