SULAIMANI (ESTA) — The Iraqi Parliament on Saturday ordered an investigation into the recent Iranian attacks on the Kurdistan Region, tasking parliamentary committees to coordinate with the KRG. 

Speaker of the Iraqi parliament Muhammed al-Halbousi has dispatched both defense and security committees of the chamber to investigate attacks on Iraq’s territory.

The speaker also demanded the committees carry out their tasks in coordination with the Federal and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), the state news agency said.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps bombarded Iranian-Kurdish opposition bases in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq on Sept. 28.

Thirteen people were killed and 58 wounded, according to Iraq’s state news agency.

“This operation will continue with our full determination until the threat is effectively repelled, terrorist groups’ bases are dismantled, and the authorities of the Kurdish region assume their obligations and responsibilities,” the IRGC said in a statement read on state television.

IRGC pounded a military camp, homes, offices, and other areas with “precision missiles” and a “suicide drone” in the Region during that attack.
