President Barzani: Targeting Unarmed Civilians in the Kurdistan Region Carries No Honor or Pride

ARK News.. Masoud Barzani issued a message on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, condemning the attack that targeted the Kurdistan Region last night, describing it as a “heinous crime and grave unjust” that struck innocent civilians without any justification.

The full text of the message reads:

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

The unlawful aggression against the Kurdistan Region was repeated once again last night, and regrettably resulted in the martyrdom of two innocent civilians in the village of Zargazrawi, Erbil province, as a result of an Iranian drone attack. This act represents the height of criminality and injustice, as unarmed citizens of Kurdistan are targeted in this manner without any justification, driven by blind hatred.

The martyrdom of these two innocent citizens has filled our hearts with deep pain and sorrow. I extend my condolences and sympathy to the families and relatives of the two martyrs, praying that God grants them His vast mercy and admits them into His eternal paradise.

Targeting civilian citizens in the Kurdistan Region and causing their martyrdom carries not a single ounce of chivalry or pride. The will of the people of Kurdistan will always remain stronger than all attacks, assaults, and drones, and will never be broken. The people of Kurdistan place their trust in God and rely on the justice of their cause.
