Iraqi Kurdish Prime Minister Masrour Barzani has accused Iran of killing innocent civilians in its strikes on the capital of the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region, Reuters reports.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards earlier said they attacked an Israeli spy centre in the region.

Speaking on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos after the attack, Barzani said the Iranian allegations were baseless and added that now was not the time for US forces to withdraw from the country.
