Iranian security official tells Iraq to expel Iranian Kurdish groups
Iranian officials have been criticizing Kurdish parties from Iran who have a presence in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, where they are regularly targeted by the Iranian military.
An Iranian security official pressed Iraq's head of government on Sunday to expel Kurdish Iranian dissident groups.
Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Ali Shamkhani met with Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi in Baghdad. Shamkhani asked Kadhimi to disarm and expel unspecified "terrorist groups" from the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. He said such groups are increasing their movements and threaten both states, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported.
