The National Security Service confirmed today, Thursday, that the determination of responsibility for the Kormor attack is based on evidence and investigation results.
The official spokesman for the service, Arshad Al-Hakim, stated in a statement received by the Video News Agency that "in line with the National Security Service's commitment to the accuracy of information related to security issues and safeguarding investigative paths from conclusions not based on evidence, the remarks of the Head of the Service, Baseem Al-Badri, regarding the Kormor field attack were made to emphasize that the determination of responsibility for security incidents relies solely on evidence and the results of specialized investigations, and not on circulating narratives or media estimates."
He added that "the statement by the Head of the Service came during a panel discussion hosted by the Chatham House Institute in the British capital, London, in response to a question from a journalist regarding what the media circulated about the source of the drones that targeted the Kormor field," clarifying that "the reference to the possibility of involvement by a Kurdish party or an external party came in the context of providing hypothetical examples to illustrate that the information circulated by the media is insufficient to definitively determine the identity of the executing party, and does not represent an accusation or conclusion based on investigation results."
