The account

Iraq

Iranian communities have lived in the shrine cities of Karbala and Najaf for centuries. Iranian residents also live in the Kurdistan Region, in Sulaymaniyah and Erbil. Iranian Kurdish opposition parties keep bases there. Iranian strikes on them were reported in 2022 and in 2026 (to verify).

This history is being expanded. Each claim gets its citation as it is reviewed.
