A day after Iran’s president gave a speech at the UN General Assembly in which Iran said it would not bend the knee to the US, Iran carried out a new attack on the Kurdistan Region of northern Iraq.

Iran has targeted the region with more than 1,000 drone and missile attacks since February. It has sought to strike at Kurdish dissident groups as well as US diplomatic facilities and other sites.

The goal of Iran is to deter Kurdish groups and also send a message that it can strike where it wants.
