Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has dismissed accusations of Iranian involvement in the recent attack on the office of the Prime Minister of Iraq’s Kurdistan Region. Araghchi characterized the incident as a “false flag operation,” implying it was staged to implicate Iran. The statement comes after the attack, which targeted the headquarters of Masrour Barzani, the prime minister of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). While details remain scarce, the attack has raised tensions in the region, with some initially pointing fingers at Iran. Tehran has consistently sought to maintain stable relations with the KRG, despite ongoing disputes with the Iraqi central government. Araghchi’s strong denial aims to de-escalate potential conflict and distance Iran from the violence. Further investigation is needed to determine the perpetrators and motives behind the attack.
