The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps’ ballistic missile attacks on Erbil, part of the Iraqi Kurdish Regional Government (KRG), resulting in the death of four civilians, prompted a demonstration outside the United Nations (UN) Erbil Office. Hundreds gathered, expressing their discontent with Iran’s actions. Protesters, holding posters of the attack victims, chanted slogans like ‘Death to Iran’ and ‘Erbil will not kneel.’ Security measures were heightened as demonstrators called for an end to Iran’s attacks. Beyan Fettah, a participant, denounced Iran’s motives, stating that their aim is to weaken Kurdish determination, a sentiment echoed by the crowd.
Simultaneously, Iraq summoned its Ambassador to Tehran, Nasir Abdulmuhsen, for consultation in response to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Army’s attacks on Erbil, as announced by the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a written statement.
