DUBAI/BAGHDAD (Reuters) -An Iranian missile strike on targets in northern Iraq set off an unusual dispute between the neighbouring allies on Tuesday, with Baghdad recalling its ambassador in protest and Tehran insisting the attack was intended to deter threats from Israeli spies. Iran's Revolutionary Guards hit what they called an Israeli espionage centre in Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region, Iranian media reported late on Monday, while the elite force said they also struck in Syria against the Islamic State.
Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani met on Monday Iran's police chief Ahmad-Reza Radan, and they discussed security coordination including securing the borders and fighting drug trafficking. This comes weeks after Baghdad announced achieving progress in its border security agreement with Tehran. The two sides stressed the importance of bilateral security cooperation in matters of border control and the fight against drug trafficking, which poses a shared threat to both countries.
