Response to Regional Tensions
Barzani emphasized that the policy of the Kurdistan Region from the very beginning of tensions between the United States and Iran has been to keep Kurdistan completely away from this war. He noted that the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) has had daily communication with Baghdad and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK). Despite political differences, Kurdish parties and Baghdad agree on strategic issues and have cooperated to protect the Kurdistan Region.
Anti-Iranian groups have had camps in the Kurdistan Region for decades. Earlier, some sources reported that two drones targeted a camp known as "Freedom" belonging to separatist groups in the "Koya" area east of Erbil. These attacks reflect the ongoing tensions in the region and efforts to prevent the Kurdistan Region from becoming a base for threats against Iran.
