[size=52]Nechirvan Barzani: I asked Soleimani to send his officers to come to me with the Mossad during the meeting[/size]

[size=45]On Wednesday, the President of the Kurdistan Region, Nechirvan Barzani, reviewed the relationship between Iraq and Iran, and the influence of the factions on the work of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, while recalling private meetings with former Quds Force Commander Qassem Soleimani regarding Tehran’s allegations of the presence of spying and eavesdropping headquarters in Erbil, without providing any evidence of this. While it is open land where Revolutionary Guard officers roam.[/size]
[size=45]Nechirvan Barzani, during an interview on Al-Arabiya Al-Hadath channel:
Our relationship with Iran is old, and it is an important neighbor for us, and we cannot eliminate this geography. Let us talk about our relationship with Iran before this incident (the recent bombing of Erbil). We believed that our relationship with it was very good. From a standpoint, Economic: We find that trade and economic numbers are rising, and visitors who go to Karbala and Najaf pass through Kurdistan.[/size]
[size=45]On the security level, we have had excellent developments with Iran, but the question is: Can you call targeting a civilian home with a cruise missile friendship? How can this be described under the pretext that it was an Israeli headquarters? You bombed a civilian house inside Erbil and killed 3 or 4 people, including a little girl. This behavior cannot be included in the category of friendship.[/size]
[size=45]We do not have any relations and there is no Mossad headquarters in Erbil, and these are pretexts. What Iran did as a neighbor of Iraq and which supposedly considers itself a friend was the greatest violation of Iraqi sovereignty. If the Iranians actually had information proving that this location was a Mossad headquarters, they would have been able to act in another way. They could have, even without returning to the Kurdistan region, approached Baghdad and handed over the evidence in their possession, and demanded the opening of a joint investigation.[/size]
[size=45]If Iran has information that this site is the headquarters of the Mossad, this is a disaster for the Iranian intelligence institutions, as they must reconsider all of their security institutions.[/size]
[size=45]In the days of Qassem Soleimani, these same problems existed. One time, he came to me and had a group of Iranian intelligence officers with him. They said that their information indicated that there was a center for eavesdropping on Iran inside Kurdistan. I said to him directly: General, while we are sitting now, let those who They call this immediately and check it out. They actually did that, and it turned out that their information had no basis in truth.[/size]
[size=45]The Iraqi government must exercise its primary role in protecting the Kurdistan region, and the region’s concerns start from this point. If Iraq does not seriously protect Kurdistan, then we have to think about something else, because protecting the region is ultimately a basic priority for us and it is Baghdad’s duty.[/size]
