U.S. Central Command condemns Iranian strikes in northern Iraq

The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) has condemned Iranian strikes that targeted locations of Kurdish armed groups in northern Iraq.

"We condemn this evening's Iranian cross-border missile and unmanned aerial vehicles strikes near Erbil, Iraq," CENTCOM said in a statement late Sunday.

“Such indiscriminate and illegal attacks place civilians at risk, violate Iraqi sovereignty, and jeopardize the hard-fought security and stability of Iraq and the Middle East,” it added.
