According to Komala leadership, Iran has fired more than 102 missiles and drones at their specific positions since regional hostilities escalated. Tehran routinely labels these Iranian Kurdish opposition groups as separatist entities and demands that Baghdad and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) disarm or expel them from Iraqi soil. The KRG continues to maintain its absolute neutrality, repeatedly condemning the violations of its territorial sovereignty.

In May 2026, Tehran officially integrated the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) into its formal security doctrine, explicitly declaring it a site of “hostile bases”. Under this doctrine, Iran claims the right to execute preemptive strikes against entities it accuses of harboring separatists or collaborating with US intelligence. Tehran continues to fiercely pressure Baghdad to fully disarm and deport these Iranian Kurdish factions.

US-Israel-Iran War Latest News: Economic Fallout for Kurdistan

The relentless bombardment has triggered a severe economic crisis for the semi-autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG):

  • Trade Collapse: The regional conflict has caused a staggering 70 percent decrease in trade across the Kurdistan region.

  • Energy Sector Disruption: Continuous drone alerts and strikes near infrastructure have forced numerous international energy companies to suspend operations, paralyzing local oil and gas production.

  • Trillions in Losses: KRG spokesman Peshawa Hawramani announced that direct economic losses from the war have reached 1.5 trillion Iraqi dinars ($1.14 billion).

The KRG maintains that it is not a party to the US-Iran war and has fiercely protested that Iraq’s territory is being illegally weaponised as a foreign battleground without its consent.
