Iran's Defense Council issued a statement on Friday declaring that Iranian forces would target any facilities in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq should Kurdish opposition groups enter Iranian territory.

The council's official statement asserted: "If these groups infiltrated Iran's borders, all facilities in the region would be targeted. We remind our friends and brothers that, thus far, we have only targeted bases belonging to the United States, Israel, and separatist groups."

For its part, the Kurdistan Region leadership rejected the Iranian threats, emphasizing that the Region would not allow its territory to become an arena for external conflict and that its policy is based on neutrality and the protection of the security of civilians and facilities.
