IRGC attacks Iraqi territory again, targeting "PJAK positions in the Choman region"

Continuing the IRGC's attacks on Iraqi soil, coinciding with the eleventh day of public protests in dozens of Iranian cities, this military force attacked northern Iraq on Tuesday with the aim of striking the headquarters of Iranian Kurdish groups.

According to a report by Mehr News Agency, after the Revolutionary Guard targeted the mountainous heights of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region on Monday, it followed up on these attacks on Tuesday, October 25.

According to Mehr, on Tuesday morning, the IRGC ground forces "destroyed the positions of the PJAK terrorist group in the Choman region on the Iran-Iraq border."

In this regard, the Kurdistan 24 website wrote on Tuesday that the Revolutionary Guards had targeted "one of the villages in the outskirts of Choman" with a drone.

The Tasnim news agency, affiliated with the Revolutionary Guard Corps, said on October 25 that a new round of attacks by the IRGC had begun in "response to Iran's support for separatists in the ongoing unrest."

The IRGC specifically referred to the two parties, Komala and the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran, and said that these parties were involved in "creating chaos and unrest" in border cities.

According to Tasnim, the IRGC ground forces attacked the headquarters of Kurdish groups with artillery and drone units, using "smart" and "point-firing" weapons.

There has been no news yet about the reaction of the central government of Baghdad or the autonomous government of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region to the new round of attacks by the Revolutionary Guards on the territory of the region.

The IRGC also claimed to have inflicted "heavy damage" on the "training centers" of Kurdish parties in the Erbil region of Iraq in the attack on Saturday, October 2nd. However, members of the Kurdish party forces in the Erbil region of Iraq said that the attack "caused no casualties or material damage."

According to Kurdish sources in northern Iraq, areas near the city of Oshnoye in West Azerbaijan province were the target of the IRGC's first attack.

Hours earlier, hundreds of young people from Osnaviyeh had taken control of the city, at least for a few hours, last weekend, and the police had left the streets, putting themselves on the defensive.

The situation that occurred in the city of Osnaviyeh has apparently raised concerns among IRGC officials that such a situation could be repeated in some other cities and that security forces could lose control of the situation.

Under the pretext of some limited slogans chanted in support of Kurdish groups and parties during the recent widespread protests in the Kurdish regions of Iran, the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) is struggling to introduce the demonstrators as dispatched agents and armed figures of these parties by continuously broadcasting distorted reports.

The death of Mahsa (Zina) Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish girl from Saqqez, who had gone to Tehran with her family two weeks ago, but died three days after being arrested by the "moral security police", initially sparked a wave of anger in the cities of Sanandaj and Saqqez in Kurdistan Province, which immediately spread to more than a hundred cities in Iran, and slogans demanding the overthrow of the entire Iranian system are now the focus of protest demonstrations.
