The United States, Iraq, the United Kingdom, and the United Nations have strongly condemned Iran's missile attacks on Erbil, a city in Iraq's Kurdistan region, which resulted in civilian casualties in residential areas. Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed responsibility for the attack, stating it targeted 'Israel's spy headquarters'. The Iraqi government has taken several diplomatic steps in response, including summoning Iran's charge d'affaires, recalling its ambassador from Tehran, and forming a committee to investigate the attack. Iraq also announced it will take legal measures. The UN emphasized that security concerns must be addressed through dialogue, not strikes. The Kurdistan Regional Government is also involved in addressing the situation, with support from the US and UK, who have expressed condolences to the victims' families.
