Protesters in Iraq's semiautonomous Kurdistan have condemned last week’s strikes on Irbil by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC). Protests took place in the cities of Zakho and Akre on January 22, a day after demonstrators took to the streets in Irbil. An Israeli businessman, his wife, and two children were killed in the attack. The IRGC claimed to have struck an Israeli "spy headquarters." Irbil's chamber of commerce has also called for a boycott of Iranian products. Baghdad recalled its ambassador and lodged a complaint with the UN Security Council.
