Two drones targeted the office of Kurdistan Region (KRG) Prime Minister Masrour Barzani, according to reports from Rudaw in the Kurdistan Region of Northern Iraq. Barzani is one of the leading officials in the autonomous region, along with Nechirvan Barzani, who is the president of the KRG. The attack came as reports also said Nechirvan had been tapped by the US as a possible back channel contact to Iran in May. The attack also comes as Baghdad is supposed to rein in Iranian-backed militias who have been attacking the Kurdistan Region.
