ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Mohammed Shia' Al Sudani, Prime Minister of Iraq, held a press conference after the regular meeting of the Iraqi Council of Ministers on Tuesday.

Sudani announced that Iraqi National Security Council will hold a meeting in the upcoming days to discuss renewed attacks on Iraq by its neighboring countries.

“The attacks were launched without taking Iraq’s permission, that’s why we decry these attacks whether carried out by Turkey or Iran,” the Prime Minister said in a press conference.

On November 21, Iran targeted the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (PDKI) headquarters in the Koya and Jejnikan refugee camps on the outskirts of Erbil.

On October 27, Sudani was elected as Prime Minister of Iraq by the majority of members of the Iraqi House of Representatives after one year of political deadlock.
