“I also had the Iranian Ambassador summoned," she said.
“The death of the young child, who is less than a year old, is truly heartbreaking; we sympathise intensely with the bereaved family and with the other victims of this attack. We are providing consular assistance to the family during this difficult time. I strongly condemn Iran's attacks in Erbil. “
On Monday, at least three ballistic missiles hit the private residence of a renowned Kurdish businessman Peshraw Dizayee in northern Erbil city during a family gathering, which killed him, including his 11-month daughter Zhina.
A total of four civilians were killed in the attack.
