Iraqi, Saudi FMs discuss Iran’s attack on Kurdistan

The two top diplomats discuss in a phone call the latest regional and international developments, led by the Iranian attack on Iraq's Kurdistan region.

BAGHDAD - The Iraqi and Saudi foreign ministers discussed in a phone call on Wednesday the latest regional and international developments, led by the Iranian attack on Iraq's Kurdistan region, the Iraqi foreign ministry said in a statement.

Iran late on Monday struck Erbil, the capital of Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region, with ballistic missiles in what it said was an attack on an Israeli spy headquarters - claims vehemently denied by Iraqi and Iraqi Kurdish officials.

The Iranian attacks have caused a rare diplomatic dispute between the two neighbouring allies.
