KRG Interior Ministry denied claims about U.S. weapons storage, citing misinformation, and announced legal action amid sensitive security dynamics
ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) - The Kurdistan Regional Government's (KRG) Interior Ministry has rejected claims that U.S. weapons were delivered to and stored at its facilities in Erbil, describing the allegations as false and misleading.
In a statement issued on Saturday, the ministry said remarks made during a televised interview on Sulaimani-based Channel 8, in which a political figure claimed that American weapons had been handed over to the ministry and stored in one of its warehouses, were “baseless and far from the truth.”
The ministry said the claims were entirely fabricated and part of an attempt to mislead public opinion.
It added that those responsible for spreading the allegations are attempting to conceal the truth by promoting further misinformation and diverting attention from the facts.
“The statements are completely unfounded and constitute misinformation,” the ministry said, warning that those involved would face accountability.
The Interior Ministry confirmed it has initiated legal proceedings against the TV channel and the guest involved, stressing that they must present evidence in court to support their claims.
“If they fail to provide proof, they will bear the legal consequences of spreading false accusations,” the statement said.
