Iran’s foreign ministry says the country will not tolerate security threats emanating from Iraqi soil a day after the elite Revolutionary Guards launched ballistic missiles on purported Israeli targets in the Kurdish capital, Erbil.
Foreign ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh claimed Israel has repeatedly created security problems for Iran through Iraqi soil by organising anti-establishment rallies and terrorist groups in the Kurdish region of northern Iraq.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed the missile attack in northern Iraq, saying it targeted an Israeli strategic centre for conspiracy in the country.
