ERBIL, Kurdistan Region of Iraq - An alliance of Iranian Kurdish dissident groups has condemned Iranian strikes on two of its constituent parties' bases in Erbil on Thursday, insisting that such actions "will not weaken our struggle and resolve" as regional conflict continues unabated.

“A loud explosion was heard in the area and smoke has risen from Camp Azadi,” the source said, referring to the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran (KDPI) headquarters in Erbil's Koya district.

"Iran’s terrorist regime attacked civilian facilities with drones belonging to [the KDPI] in Koya moments ago," the KDPI said in a later statement.

Investigations by emergency teams are ongoing as of writing this report, and no casualties have been reported as of yet.

A base belonging to the Organization of Iranian Kurdistan Struggle (Khabat) was also targeted within the same hour in Erbil’s Topzawa village.

In February, Kurdish opposition groups from western Iran (Rojhelat) formed a joint coalition aimed at toppling the Iranian government, with the Komala Party of Iranian Kurdistan announcing on Wednesday it had joined the alliance, bringing the total number of groups in the coalition to six.

“The regime's attacks on the bases and headquarters of the political parties of Eastern Kurdistan, which are a sign of the great weakness and fear of the regime's officials toward the Kurdish rights movement in Iran, will not weaken our struggle and resolve — but rather will strengthen our will to fight for the overthrow of the Islamic Republic and the liberation of Kurdistan,” read a statement from the alliance following the strike.

The attack comes after reports emerged on Tuesday indicating that Washington will depend on an armed Kurdish invasion into western Iran to divert Iranian military personnel. The reports have been staunchly rejected by Erbil and Washington. 

Neither forces belonging to Iranian Kurdish opposition parties, nor people from Iraq’s Kurdistan Region, have crossed borders into Iran for a ground offensive, multiple sources confirmed to The New Region on Thursday.

Since the war broke out, bases of Kurdish opposition groups in the Kurdistan Region have come under repeated attack.

An Iranian strike on Wednesday targeted a base of the exiled Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK) in Erbil’s Koya district, killing at least one person and injuring three.
