Statement from Prime Minister Masrour Barzani

I extend my deepest condolences to the families of Colonel Saman Sabir Sleman, Commander of the Regiment of the First Brigade of the Joint Forces; Colonel Mohammed Raza Karim from the Ninth Armored Division of the Iraqi Army, and Sargent Sharif Ahmed Mohammed Amin who were tragically martyred in a targeted terrorist attack in Khurmatu today.

I pray God grants them eternal peace and brings comfort and solace to their families and fellow soldiers. My thoughts are with the injured.

On this occasion, I reaffirm the importance of close coordination between the Peshmerga Forces and the Iraqi Army to jointly address security threats and bring lasting peace and stability in the disputed territories.

Masrour Barzani
