ILIranian-backed militias have intensified drone attacks against Kurdish opposition groups operating in northern Iraq, resulting in multiple casualties. According to local officials and reports from Rudaw media, these attacks have increased in frequency and lethality, with around nine people killed in July alone. The attacks target Kurdish political parties such as Komala, which is part of a coalition of Kurdish Iranian groups. The escalation follows U.S.-Iran military strikes in February and ongoing regional tensions. Local authorities report that drones have struck Komala bases and others, with some incidents occurring near Erbil. The attacks are seen as part of broader regional hostilities, despite efforts toward diplomatic engagement between the U.S. and Iran.

While it presents factual accounts of the attacks, the narrative leans toward highlighting the role of external actors (Iran and its proxies) в
