Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency, which has close links to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), announced today that the attacks on Iranian Kurdish opposition groups in Iraqi Kurdistan will continue until these groups are disarmed or leave the region completely.

The IRGC bombed the Koysinjaq area in Iraq’s Kurdistan region Nov. 14, with at least five rockets, causing two deaths and leaving dozens injured.
