INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Shafaq News / Tehran had warned Iraqi authorities many times that its territory should not be used by third parties to conduct attacks
against Iran, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Saeed Khatibzadeh said on Monday.He was speaking one day after Iran attacked Iraq's northern
city of Erbil with a dozen ballistic missiles in an unprecedented assault on the capital of the autonomous Iraqi Kurdish region that
appeared to target the United States and its allies.Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed responsibility for the missile assault.Iranian state
media said the Revolutionary Guards Corps had launched the attack against Israeli "strategic centres" in Erbil, suggesting it was revenge
for recent Israeli air strikes that killed Iranian military personnel in Syria.The Iraqi Kurdish regional government said the attack only
targeted civilian residential areas, not sites belonging to foreign countries, and called on the international community to carry out an
investigation.(Reuters)
