Iran–Iran has targeted the Kurdish region in Iraq over its talks about natural gas involving Israel. As per the initial reports, Iran launched an attack on a nascent plan for Iraq’s Kurdistan region, which was to supply gas to Turkey and Europe. The natural gas would have been supplied to the two with the intervention of Israel under an agreement.

The part where Israel came into the picture is what seems to have irked Iran and it went ahead and striked the Kurdish capital Erbil with ballistic missiles this month. This is not the first time that Iran attacked the region. Earlier this month too, Iran has blasted a villa in Iraq’s Kurdish region. Experts have come up with various theories to understand why Iran has suddenly struck the region especially in the matters concerning natural gas supply.
