Prime Minister Barzani Condemns Militia Attacks on US Consulate in Erbil

Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Prime Minister Masrour Barzani on Sunday strongly condemned the attacks by militia groups on the Kurdistan Region.



“I strongly condemn the heinous attacks by terrorist militias targeting the U.S. Consulate General and civilian areas in Erbil. These deliberate acts of aggression pose a grave threat to the security and stability of the Kurdistan Region, Iraq, and the wider region. This is unacceptable,” KRG PM Masrour Barzani. 


“I once again call unequivocally upon the federal government in Baghdad to take immediate, decisive, and tangible actions against these outlaw armed groups and militias. It is incumbent upon the federal government to use all means to thwart these terrorist attacks and bring those responsible to justice.”


In a statement on Saturday, Dindar Zebari, Kurdistan Regional Government Coordinator for International Advocacy, underlined that Iraq has a legal obligation to stop the ongoing attacks on the Kurdistan Region.


“The continued targeting of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq by non-state armed actors raises serious concerns in relation to Iraq’s due diligence obligations under international law,” he said


According to the latest report of Community Peacemaker Teams – Iraqi Kurdistan, published on March 30, 2026, since the beginning of joint attacks by the United States and Israel against Iran, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its affiliated groups in Iraq have conducted at least 474 attacks targeting the U.S. Consulate, military bases, Kurdish opposition parties, Peshmerga bases, oil fields, and residential areas in the Kurdistan Region. In these attacks, 14 people have been killed and 93 injured.
