00:25Iran strikes again,
00:28this time deep inside Iraq's Kurdistan region.
00:32Missiles and drones targeted camps near Erbil,
00:36hitting bases linked to Iranian Kurdish opposition groups.
00:40Tehran calls them separatist terrorist organizations.
00:44Among those targeted,
00:46groups like the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran,
00:50Kamala factions and others operating out of northern Iraq.
00:54These groups have long maintained camps,
00:58training zones and even family housing across the region,
01:02particularly around Erbil.
01:04And now those locations are under fire.
01:08According to Iranian state media,
01:11the strikes were precise,
01:13aimed at dismantling what it calls terror infrastructure.
01:17Videos circulating online show flashes in the night sky,
01:22followed by explosions on the ground.
01:25Local sources confirm drone strikes hitting camps east of Erbil.
01:30But here's the key claim driving this escalation.
01:34Iran says these groups were actively helping the United States
01:39and Israel in the wider conflict against Tehran.
01:43From intelligence links to potential coordination on the ground,
01:48Tehran views these camps not just as opposition bases,
01:52but as extensions of its enemies.
01:55That claim is highly contested.
01:57But it's central to Iran's justification.
02:00This is not an isolated incident.
02:04Since early 2026,
02:06Iran has ramped up strikes across Iraq's Kurdistan region.
02:11Missiles, one-way attack drones,
02:14repeated hits on opposition strongholds.
02:17Some attacks have killed fighters.
02:20Others have hit families and civilian areas inside the camps.
02:24Iran says it's acting to stop cross-border threats
02:29and foreign-backed operations.
02:31But Kurdish authorities and Iraqi officials strongly reject that narrative.
02:37They call it a violation of sovereignty,
02:40a dangerous escalation,
02:43and a direct threat to regional stability.
02:46The Kurdistan regional government has repeatedly warned
02:50that Iraqi territory should not become a battlefield.
02:53Yet the strikes continue.
02:56And the timing is critical.
02:58These Akaks are unfolding amid rising tensions between Iran,
03:04Israel, and the United States.
03:06A wider conflict is already in motion.
03:10And now northern Iraq is increasingly being pulled into the crossfire.
03:15Meanwhile, civilians in these camps face growing danger.
03:20Homes damaged.
03:21Infrastructure hit.
03:23Families caught in between.
03:25The risk of escalation is rising.
03:28More strikes.
03:30More retaliation.
03:31More instability.
03:33What started as targeted operations is now part of a much larger regional war.
03:40And the question is, how far will this spread?
