The State Department said on Thursday that an American citizen was murdered in Iranian airstrikes on armed Iranian Kurdish resistance organisations in Iraqi Kurdistan on Wednesday.
According to State Department deputy spokeswoman Vidant Patel, “We can confirm that an American citizen was killed in a missile attack in the Kurdistan area of Iraq in the bombing that took place on Wednesday.”
He continued, saying that the United States “will continue to apply sanctions and take other actions to put a halt to Iran’s destabilising operations in the region. We condemn Iran’s violation of Iraq’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
”
Due to concerns for his family, Patel declined to provide any information about the American or the circumstances surrounding his death.
The Iraqi Kurdistan Counter-Terrorism Service confirmed the bombing’s departure on Wednesday. Tehran claimed responsibility “13 people were killed, including a pregnant woman, and 58 people were injured, the most of them civilians, including children under 10.
”
The Iranian strikes took place amid a tense environment in Iran, where midnight protests have been planned every day since the death of Mahsa Amini, 22, who was killed after being detained by the morality police on September 16.
Given the ongoing protests against the execution of the young woman, Mahsa Amini, two weeks ago, revolutionaries in the Iranian city of Qarchak seized the governor’s residence.
Angry protests against the killing of the twenty-year-old lady who was killed by the morality police in Tehran have persisted for almost two weeks across the nation.
There have been protests around the world in support of the ongoing rallies in Iran, so they are not just limited to one nation.
According to the Norwegian police, fighting took place during a rally close to the Iranian embassy in Oslo, leaving two persons with minor injuries and about 90 others being detained. .
In the Iranian bombing of Iraqi Kurdistan, an American died.
