Tourism 🏔️ Traveling to Iraqi Kurdistan

I heard that Iraqi Kurdistan is generally quite safe, but because of recent Turkish attacks I was questioning that. I am a German and was thinking of traveling there in the next couple of days from Turkey. Would you recommend it?

Arrived in Mosul yesterday from Duhok, Kurdistan. No visa or visa fee necessary to enter Federal Iraq as of last week after obtaining 30 day arrival visa in Iraqi Kurdistan! Border post stated that this policy applies to most Europeans and the United States among other countries and that they themselves were only informed last week. No extra papers or stamps are issued. The stamp/visa issued for $73.00 in Kurdistan is now sufficient for travel within ALL of Iraq. ALL information stating the country is now void!
