TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran’s consulate general in Erbil, the capital of the Iraqi Kurdistan region, on Sunday condemned a recent act of aggression against the premises and said the incident was politically motivated.
"On Friday evening, when the Consulate General of the Islamic Republic of Iran was closed, some individuals who had political motives made an act of aggression against the Iranian mission in Erbil,” it said in a statement. "Undoubtedly, such moves have nothing to do with the honorable people of Erbil, who remember the brave battle of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) forces against the Daesh terrorist group,” it added.
