Kurdish exiled groups disarmed, removed from borders with Iran, says Iraq

2023-09-20

[Rudaw] Iraq on Tuesday announced that it has complied with the terms of the joint security pact with Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate ~~Jews~~ ~~Zionists~~ Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
and disarmed the Kurdish exile groups on the Iraq-Iran border, adding that the offices previously used by the opposition groups have been "definitively" evacuated.

In March, Iran and Iraq signed a border protection deal, in which Baghdad agreed to a September 19 deadline to disarm Kurdish opposition groups and secure the border regions. The Iranian military in July threatened to use military action if Baghdad fails to meet the deadline.

"The headquarters located near the border with Iran, which were previously used by Iranian[-Kurdish] opposition groups, have been definitively evacuated," read a statement from the Iraqi High Committee for the Implementation of the Joint Security Agreement, adding that the evacuation was carried out through the joint efforts of Baghdad, Erbil, and the Iran-Iraq joint committee.

The committee said that the groups’ evacuation of the headquarters "requires our responsibility to protect them," noting that the members of the groups have been moved away from the borders and disarmed "in preparation for them being considered refugees."

During a joint presser with his Iranian counterpart Hossein Amir-Abdollahian in Tehran last week, Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein said that camps were being set up in an undisclosed location for the refugees to move into, adding that the camps will be under the supervision of the UN refugee agency.

Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), attended the meetings that resulted in the implementation of the agreement, according to the statement. She announced her support for the implementation of the agreement "with the possibility of dealing with these groups as long as they have civilian status."

Tehran has long accused the KRG of harboring opposition groups it considers "terrorists" and allowing them to use the border areas as a launchpad for attacks against Iran.

Iranian-Kurdish opposition groups based in the Kurdistan Region - namely the Kurdistan Democratic Party

...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
of Iran (KDPI), Komala, Free Life Party of Kurdistan (PJAK), and the Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK) - have been accused of fueling the nationwide protest movement in Iran last year and inciting unrest in the country. The groups, struggling for greater rights for Iran’s marginalized Kurdish population, have fought an on-and-off war with the Islamic Theocratic Republic.

Iranian armed forces have carried out many attacks on the alleged positions of these groups, including using both ballistic missiles and drones.
