Residents of Iraqi Kurdistan (the semi-autonomous northern region of Iraq) are expressing exhaustion and despair following roughly six weeks of drone and missile strikes, with around 700 attacks recorded against US positions and Kurdish interests in the area. Just one day before a ceasefire took hold, a civilian was killed in a drone attack that Kurdish authorities attributed to Iran. The conflict, rooted in hostilities between Iran and the United States, has left local communities as unintended victims of a war they say has nothing to do with them.
