Event details
Iraq's Kurdistan Counter-Terrorism Service said one drone was fired at the office of Prime Minister Masrour Barzani and another at the home of a top regional intelligence official, AP reported. Barzani called the attack a dangerous escalation. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said nothing justified the attack and that Kurdish authorities should watch for false-flag ploys.
Context
This is a new official kinetic incident plus an official Iranian denial, not a restatement of the Lebanon or Mocha cards already on the desk.
