Iran’s foreign minister said on January 17 that Tehran shared intelligence with Iraq about what it said were activities of the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad in Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdish region.The Iranian strikes have led to a rare diplomatic row with Iraq’s government, with Baghdad filing a complaint against Iranian “aggression” at the United Nations Security Council and recalling its ambassador to Tehran.Attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, foreign minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said Iran’s intelligence was accurate and Tehran respected Iraq’s sovereignty.He said Iran also respected the sovereignty of Pakistan, which recalled its ambassador on Wednesday in protest after Tehran said it launched missile strikes on militant bases in Pakistan’s southwest.Amirabdollahian said Iran was targeting “Iranian terrorist group” Jaish al-Adl which he said had taken refuge in the area. Jaish al-Adl, which says it seeks greater rights and better living conditions for ethnic minority Baluchis, has claimed responsibility for several attacks in recent years on Iranian security forces.Amirabdollahian said attacks against Israel and its interests by the “Axis of Resistance” will stop if the Gaza war ends, warning that the conflict could heighten tensions across the Middle East
