/ Today, Friday, the Netherlands summoned its Iranian ambassador, after a child with Dutch nationality was killed in Revolutionary Guard missile attacks on Erbil, Iraq, last Tuesday.
A statement quoted the Dutch Foreign Minister, Wopke Hoostra, as saying, “A Dutch child, less than one year old, was killed in the Iranian attacks on Erbil.”
He added that he asked Iranian Foreign Minister Amir Abdollahian for clarification, and summoned the Iranian ambassador.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard launched a violent bombardment with ballistic missiles targeting civilian areas in the city of Erbil, which led to the fall of 10 civilians, including one victim and one wounded.
The Revolutionary Guard claimed responsibility for the strikes that targeted Erbil, and said in a statement that they came “in response to the crimes of the Zionist regime against the Islamic Republic, the latest of which was the killing of a number of Guard commanders by Zionist fire. A major Mossad spy headquarters in the Kurdistan region of Iraq was targeted and destroyed with ballistic missiles.” .
The Kurdistan Region Security Council considered the missile bombardment launched by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, which targeted civilian areas in the city of Erbil, “a blatant violation of the sovereignty of the region and all of Iraq.”
