As protests rage at home, Iran launches drone, missile attack in Iraq

As Iran struggles to quell a wave of street protests at home, the regime launched a drone and missile attack on an Iranian-Kurdish opposition group in neighboring Iraq on Wednesday, Kurdish and U.S. officials said.

The Iranian attack left at least nine people dead and 32 wounded, Kurdish authorities in the area said.

It was the latest in a series of attacks by Iran targeting Iraq’s Kurdistan region in the past several days, as Tehran has alleged that Kurdish groups have been helping to fuel the demonstrations that have swept across Iran for more than a week.
