“I condemn and denounce the failed attempt to assassinate Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi, which took place through an attack targeting his residence in Baghdad at dawn today,” Barzani said.

“This terrorist act is a dangerous development that threatens security and stability in the country and portends dire consequences,” Barzani added.

He also called on all sides to exercise restraint and calm down.

Early on Sunday, Iraq’s Prime Minister Mustafa Kadhimi survived an assassination attempt via an explosive drone that targeted his residence in Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone district.
