Kurdistan Press Agency (Kurdpa): In a special TV program, Iranian military and security experts provided analyses of the recent Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)’s missile attacks on the headquarters of the Democratic Party. The program was published on IRIB Mostanad which is a state-owned documentary TV channel in Iran.

In a program called ‘360 Darajeh (degrees)’ and titled ‘How did the IRGC retaliate against the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (PDKI)’, two military and security experts of the Islamic Republic of Iran discussed the recent IRGC’s missile attacks on the party’s headquarters.

Talking briefly about the Kurdish political movements’ history, Hassan Rastegar Panah, Director for National Studies of Sustainable Security claimed that “all of the Kurdistan’s political parties in Iran, Iraq and Syria have a connection with “the United States’ spy networks’.

Mentioning the new era of fighting against Iranian regime which was declared by the PDKI in 2016, Rastegar Panah said: “the changes in the region and the mischief in Kurdish area, which was caused by spay organizations from the US, Israel, England and Saudi Arabia, once again unified Kurdish political groups and increased insecurity against the Islamic Republic”.

He described the recent IRGC’s missile attacks as one of the main means to response the Kurdish parties’ activities.

Another expert, Hossein Dalirian, mentioned the intensive Kurdish fighting and said: “From one and a half years ago, the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan increased the level of its activities; the party carried out around 15 military operations in East and Northeast of Iran”.

Hossein Dalirian said the IRGC had targeted the PDKI’s Political-Military Education Center with four missiles.

On Saturday, the 8th of September, the Democratic Party’s headquarters in Koya were targeted by missile attacks which left 15 party’s leadership members and Peshmergas killed and 40 others wounded.

On September 12, 2018, Kurdish people in Rojhelat (Iranian Kurdistan) went on public strike against the execution of Kurdish political prisoners as well as the missile attacks on the headquarters of the Democratic Party in the Kurdistan Regional Government.
