Iran has strongly condemned the drone attack that targeted the residence of Nechirvan Barzani, President of the Kurdistan Region, in Dohuk, northern Iraq. It described the incident as a serious and unacceptable violation of international law and, moreover, a threat to regional stability.

As a result, they also increase tensions in a sensitive region.
In addition, the Armed Forces stated that the attack reflects ongoing regional instability. They linked this instability to external interference. Furthermore, they warned that foreign involvement in Middle Eastern affairs has increased insecurity. Consequently, it has created long-term security challenges across the region.
