We condemn the bombing of the Kurdistan Region by the Islamic Republic of Iran’s forces on several targets and the casualties among civilians as we categorically reject the repetition of these attacks.

The Kurdistan Region’s position is clear that it will not allow any security threat to the neighboring countries from its borders, while emphasizing that the Kurdistan Region should not be used as a battleground to settle disputes among rival parties.

While we reiterate that weapons and use of force will not solve the problems and that the only solution which serves the interest of all parties is dialogue and peace, we also call on the Iraqi Federal Government to fulfill its duty and protect the country and its territorial integrity.
