The attacks resulted in four fatalities and six injuries among civilians.

In an interview with CNN, Minister Hussein expressed concern that when tensions rise between Washington and Tehran, it is the Iraqi people who bear the cost, with conflicts unfolding on Iraqi soil.

He noted, "Currently, the tension between the Israelis and Iranians is also the same, and that's why the Iranians do not want, or cannot, directly attack Israel.

Instead, they seek victims around them and target Erbil." Hussein condemned these attacks as aggression, a violation of international law, and a breach of the established legal framework.

Consequently, Iraq has taken various measures and approached the United Nations Security Council in New York.

Regarding the stance of Security Council member states on Iraq's complaint, Hussein stated, "I believe there will be substantial support for the Iraqi position against Iran." He emphasized that if Iraq, perceived as an ally of Iran, approaches the Security Council, it will create a significant problem for Tehran, given its isolation from the international community.

On Tuesday, Iraq lodged a complaint with the United Nations and the international community concerning the "missile aggression" by Iran targeting Erbil.

The attack resulted in civilian casualties, injuries, and damage to public and private property, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Ministry issued two identical letters to the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the President of the Security Council through Iraq's Permanent Representation in New York.

These letters affirmed that the missile aggression constitutes a blatant violation of Iraq's sovereignty, regional integrity, and the security of the Iraqi people.

On Monday night, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard conducted a fierce missile strike targeting civilian areas in the city of Erbil, resulting in the death of 10 civilians and numerous injuries.

The Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the Iranian Chargé d'Affaires in Baghdad, Abu al-Fadl Azizi, delivering a protest memorandum regarding the missile strike.

Additionally, the Ministry summoned the Iraqi Ambassador to Tehran, Nasir Abdul-Muhsin, for consultations in light of recent Iranian attacks on Erbil, which resulted in casualties.
