Iraq reports Iran to UN Security Council over missile attack

The Iraqi foreign ministry submitted Wednesday an official complaint against Iran to the United Nations and the UN Security Council following the missile attack on Erbil.
Erbil is the capital of the semi-autonomous region of Kurdistan.
The ministry said in a statement that it had filed a complaint in two identical letters to the United Nations secretary general and the UN Security Council president.
It said the letters were written through Iraq’s permanent mission to the UN in New York.
The ministry’s letters stressed that the “aggression is considered a blatant violation of Iraq’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the security of the Iraqi people,” according to the statement.
On Tuesday, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudani denounced the Iranian missile attack on Erbil as an “aggressive act” that would undermine the strong bilateral relations.
Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said it had launched barrages of ballistic missiles against the bases of “terrorists” and Israel’s intelligence service Mossad in Syria as well as Iraq’s Kurdistan region.
It was in response to recent anti-Iran “terror” attacks.
Late on Monday, the Kurdistan Region Security Council said four people were killed and six others injured in the Iranian missile attack on “several populated civilian areas” in Erbil.
