ARK News… The Kurdistan Region Security Council, on Monday, affirmed that any aggression against the region will have a heavy price, blaming the federal government for the responsibility to protect Iraq's sovereignty and put an end to outlaw groups.

The Kurdistan Region Security Council said in a statement that "an outlaw group called (the Iraqi Resistance Coordination Committee), which we fully know who encourages it, made baseless accusations and threatened the Kurdistan Region in a statement."

The Council stressed by saying: "We announce that any aggression against the Kurdistan Region, which is a constitutional entity in Iraq, will have a heavy price.".

"These outlaw groups pose a threat to Iraq's sovereignty and security, and have paved the way for the growth of terrorism and extremist ideology," the statement said.
