Iran and Baghdad agree on Kurdish opposition handover
Iran and Iraq have reached an agreement to remove the Iranian Kurdish opposition groups from the Kurdistan Region or to hand them over to Iran, in order to address security challenges between the two countries. The two governments previously signed an agreement in 2023 to enhance border security and "neutralize the Kurdish opposition," which led to the suspension of Iranian shelling of these groups. However, Iran has resumed strikes on the opposition since the start of the Middle East war in February, while Iraq continues to refuse to hand over these individuals out of concern for their safety. Despite this, the two sides are still cooperating to neutralize separatist groups in the region.
