Iraq Filed an Official Complaint Against Iran with the United Nations
Following the missile attack on Erbil, the capital of Kurdistan's semi-autonomous region, the Iraqi Foreign Ministry lodged an official complaint with the United Nations (UN) and the UN Security Council.
As stated in the statement, the "aggression is considered a blatant violation of Iraq's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and security."
The Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani denounced the Iranian missile attack on Erbil on Tuesday as an "aggressive act" that would undermine bilateral relations. The Prime Minister is in Switzerland at the World Economic Forum until the 19th of January.
Earlier on Tuesday, Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said it had launched barrages of ballistic missiles against bases of "terrorists" and Israel's intelligence service Mossad in Syria as well as Iraq's Kurdistan region as a response to recent anti-Iran "terrorism" attacks.
In a statement released late Monday night, the Kurdistan Region Security Council said four people were killed and six were injured in an Iranian missile attack on "several populated civilian areas" in Erbil.
