March 4 (Reuters) – A drone struck an arms depot in an attack on the headquarters of an Iranian Kurdish opposition group in the town of Dekala in Iraq’s Kurdistan region on Wednesday, wounding two fighters, security sources said.
Iran has long accused Iraq’s autonomous northern Kurdish region of sheltering militant groups involved in attacks against the Islamic Republic, with Iran’s Revolutionary Guards in turn repeatedly targeting their bases.
Reuters reported this week, as the United States and Israel pounded Iranian targets, that Iranian Kurdish militias have consulted with the U.S. in recent days about whether, and how, to attack Iran’s security forces in the western part of the country.
