Baghdad: Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has condemned and dismissed the attack on the Iraqi Kurdistan Region's Prime Minister's office as a false-flag operation. Nothing justifies the reckless attack on Prime Minister Barzani's office, Araghchi wrote in a post on his X account. He added that Kurdish friends should be vigilant against false-flag ploys that are designed to sow discord between neighbors. 'We protected our Kurdish friends against Saddam and DAESH, and we're thankful for the security they've provided on our border,' he stressed. According to Islamic Republic News Agency, earlier today, the Foreign Ministry spokesperson labeled the recent drone attack on the office of Masrour Barzani, Prime Minister of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region, a 'highly suspicious development,' urging regional vigilance to thwart attempts to destabilize ties between Iran and Iraq. In response to a query from IRNA on Monday regarding media reports of the attack, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismaeil Baqaei condemned the inciden t, characterizing the strike as a deliberate provocation that requires careful investigation. 'This development is highly suspicious and requires all sides to exercise vigilance,' Baqaei said. He emphasized that the incident appears intended to harm the 'brotherly relations' between Iran and Iraq, noting that both nations must cooperate to neutralize the 'sinister plots' of mutual adversaries seeking to drive a wedge between them. The spokesperson further pointed to recent warnings issued by Iraqi officials - including the country's national security advisor - regarding the presence of foreign-affiliated cells in the region. According to Iraqi intelligence, these groups have been involved in planning and executing 'false-flag' operations, he said.
