The Kurdistan Region of northern Iraq is grappling with ongoing Iranian attacks on Kurdish groups, even amidst a ceasefire. Kurdish leaders express concern that a potential agreement between the US and Iran may not extend to Iraq, failing to halt the violence against Kurdish dissidents. Since the onset of the conflict in late February, there have been more than 810 attacks attributed to Iran and its proxies, with the Kurdish Rudaw media reporting drone strikes targeting bases of the Komala Party and the Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK) in Erbil province. Although no casualties were reported from the latest assaults, the situation remains precarious. Kurdish officials have documented 79 missile and drone strikes on their bases, highlighting the persistent threat they face. The US is pressuring the Iraqi central government to rein in Iranian-backed militias, which pose a danger not only to Kurdish groups but also to broader regional stability. As discussions of a potential deal between the US and Iran continue, the Kurdish community fears that their safety may be overlooked in the negotiations.
