Iraqi Foreign Minister Fouad Hussein confirmed on Saturday that Baghdad had not seen any evidence that the site of the Iranian bombing of Erbil in Iraqi Kurdistan was being used by Mossad and was skeptical of Tehran.
In a televised interview, he revealed the scenes of his meeting with the security and political leadership in Tehran after the Iranian missile bombing that targeted Erbil, and said: “If Iran has evidence, it must provide it to us.” He proposed a commission to investigate the bombing of Erbil, but it did not come.
The Iraqi foreign minister also asked Iran to provide evidence of an Israeli presence at the bombing site in Erbil.
He added: “Iran’s claim that it provided information to Iraqi intelligence before the missile bombing is false, and no case of Israeli presence has ever reached Baghdad.”
He sent a message to Tehran, saying “this incident should not be repeated” and stressed that Erbil is the land of Iraq.
He also said: “We were surprised that Iran chose the Kurdish region to respond to Israel.”
On March 13, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps formally acknowledged its involvement in the Erbil attack. And he said in an official statement that he described what he described as the “strategic center of the Israeli conspiracy” with powerful and accurate missiles belonging to his forces.
However, the KRG confirmed that the attack targeted a civilian site, noting that the justification for the attack on an Israeli base near the US consulate was to hide the motives of this heinous crime, which shows that the allegations of the perpetrators of the attack are very It has been far away.

The Iraqi Foreign Ministry later summoned Tehran’s ambassador to Baghdad and handed him a note of protest. “The ministry summoned the Iranian ambassador and handed him a note of protest stating Iraq’s clear position on the matter,” said Ahmed al-Sahaf, a spokesman for the Iraqi Foreign Ministry.
The Kurdistan Counter-Terrorism Service said the attack was carried out with “12 ballistic missiles” fired “from outside the region, especially from the east.” There were no casualties but there was material damage.
Iraq, which has a wide eastern border with Iran and supports several local factions and militias, often sees missile or drone strikes on US bases and interests.
