(Photo: AFP)TEHRAN - Fresh blasts were reported in Iran’s capital on Thursday as Tehran said it had targeted Kurdish groups in Iraq and warned “separatist groups” against action in the widening war. On Thursday, Tehran said it had hit Iraq-based Kurdish groups “opposed to the revolution”, as reports said the United States was looking to arm Kurdish guerrillas to infiltrate Iran. The strikes which killed a member from an exiled Iranian Kurdish group, according to a representative, followed a warning from Iranian officials. IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva, meanwhile, warned on Thursday that the conflict would test global economic resilience. China also announced it would send a special envoy to mediate in the conflict, though it gave no further details.
