Drones Over Kurdistan: A Calculated Move in a Complex Proxy War The recent drone strikes targeting Kurdish leaders in Iraq's Kurdistan Region have raised concerns about escalating tensions between Iran and Iraqi Kurdistan.
The involvement of Nechirvan Barzani, president of Iraq's Kurdistan Region, as a secret channel between the US and Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is a significant development.
The drones used in Monday's attack were identified as Hadid 110 aircraft, launched from Iranian territory. This suggests a calculated move by Tehran to send a message to its perceived adversaries.
