Kurdish opposition group says base hit by drones ‘from Iran’

[Rudaw] Two drones launched from Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.

hit a base for the Komala Toilers of Kurdistan (Komala) dissident group near the Kurdistan Region’s eastern Sulaimani province on Wednesday, the party said in a statement, with no injuries recorded.

"The former headquarters of the Komala Toilers of Kurdistan in Banagawra [southeast of Sulaimani] was targeted tonight at 21:30 by two drones," the group said, adding that "the drones came from Iran."

Since the outbreak of the Iran war in late February, " the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran has targeted Komala positions and bases with more than 78 missiles and drones," the statement added.

A Komala official confirmed to Rudaw that no injuries were recorded.

The incident comes just days after four "Iranian missiles" struck another base belonging to the same Kurdish dissident group southwest of Sulaimani province on Monday, injuring at least two people, a party official then confirmed to Rudaw.

The US and Israel launched a large-scale aerial campaign against Iran in late February, striking thousands of targets across the country during six weeks of hostilities.

In response, Iran carried out thousands of drone and missile strikes across the Middle East, targeting alleged US assets - particularly in Gulf Arab states - as well as launching retaliatory attacks against Israel.

The Iranian response also involved Iraqi gangs aligned with the Tehran-led ’Axis of Resistance®,’ with several factions claiming responsibility for attacks on purported US targets in the region, including in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region.

Tehran also ramped up its attacks on Kurdish dissident groups in the Region.

The US and Iran later agreed to a Pakistain-mediated ceasefire on April 8, halting fighting to allow space for talks. While the first round of discussions concluded without a final agreement on April 11, a second round has yet to take place, as the war has yet to fully conclude.

Despite the truce, the Kurdistan Regional Government’s (KRG) Department of Media and Information in late April reported that since the outbreak of the war through the 20th of that month, the Region endured over 809 attacks. However,
