Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi issued a statement condemning a recent overnight attack that targeted the office of the Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. In a post on the social media platform X, Araghchi stated that "nothing justifies the reckless attack" and emphasized the importance of maintaining regional stability.

Araghchi’s remarks included a warning to Kurdish officials, advising them to remain "vigilant against false-flag ploys" that could be designed to cause friction between Iran and its neighbors. He framed the relationship as a historical partnership, noting that Iran had previously supported Kurdish forces against both the regime of Saddam Hussein and the Islamic State (DAESH). Furthermore, he expressed appreciation for the security cooperation provided by the Kurdish region along the shared border.

While the statement clearly denounces the violence, it also serves as a diplomatic signal to prevent the incident from escalating tensions. By framing the attack as a potential "false-flag" operation, Araghchi suggests that external actors or provocateurs may be attempting to undermine the current security arrangement between Iran and the Kurdistan Regional Government. The statement focuses on preserving the status quo and preventing diplomatic discord, rather than attributing the attack to any specific perpetrator.
