Erbil

The US will withdraw all air defense systems from Erbil in Iraqi Kurdistan as part of its military exit by September 2026, according to Iraqi National Security Advisor Qasim al-Araji.

Two Iranian drones attacked the private office of the Prime Minister of the Kurdish region in Iraq. While the regional government's security services did not explicitly name the perpetrators, Prime Minister Masrour Barzani directly blamed Iran for the strike.
