Drone Strike Hits Iranian Kurdish Opposition Group Base in Iraq, Two Wounded
A drone strike targeted an arms depot at the headquarters of an Iranian Kurdish opposition group in Dekala, Iraq's Kurdistan region, wounding two fighters according to security sources. Iran has long accused the Kurdish region of Iraq of harboring militant groups that conduct attacks against the Islamic Republic, with Revolutionary Guards periodically striking these bases. The attack comes amid reports that Iranian Kurdish militias have been consulting with the United States about potential operations against Iran's security forces in western Iran, aimed at exploiting the power vacuum following the killing of Supreme Leader Khamenei. No group has claimed responsibility for the drone strike.
