Following an investigation by the Kurdistan Counter-Terrorism Unit, my personal office and the home of the head of the Security and Intelligence Agency were targeted by Iranian drone attacks earlier today.
I condemn these reckless and unacceptable attacks in the strongest terms. This is a dangerous escalation and a direct threat to the security and stability of the Kurdistan Region.
These attacks will not deter us from carrying out our duties and protecting our citizens -mb.
We lost a brave 31-year-old security guard at Erbil Airport last night in another drone attack on the Kurdistan Region.
Welat Tahir leaves behind two children.
He sacrificed his life for his nation.
Remember him.
The criminals firing these drones/rockets are on the Iraqi government payroll.

Ez pêvajoya aştiyê û gava yekem a danîna çekan ji aliyê PKKê ve pêşwazî dikim. Hêvî dikim ku hemû alî pabendî pêkanîna aştiyeke rastîn û serdemeke nû ya jiyana hevbeş û aramiyê bibin.
Today, we launch @VisitKrd — a platform to help us reach 20 million tourists by 2035 and make tourism a pillar of our economy.
Despite the unjust treatment by the federal government, Kurdistan will stay on the path of development and prosperity — so come and #VisitKurdistan.
Met with Iraqi Kurdistan Regional Government Prime Minister Masrour Barzani and reaffirmed U.S. support for a strong and resilient Iraqi Kurdistan Region that is critical to the stability of Iraq and the broader region.
