Iran’s Revolutionary Guard fired missiles into Iraq tonight to destroy what they said were foreign ‘spy’ centers in Erbil.
Below is video of the explosions in Erbil, which is 72 miles from the Iranian border:
Here’s what we know from Zero Hedge:
Multiple large explosions have been reported overnight (local) near the US Consulate in Erbil, Iraq, in what appears to be a major escalation from Iran.
The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has already taken responsibility for the attack against what a statement dubbed foreign “espionage centers” and “anti-Iranian terrorist gatherings in parts of the region” with ballistic missiles.
ABC News is reporting that four people were killed in the fresh missile attack, however, no Americans have been hurt. US officials have told regional media that no American facilities were impacted by the missile strikes in Erbil, even though many initial reports said it took place near the vicinity of the US consulate.
Very close in time to this attack, possibly within as little as five minutes of the Erbil incident, Israel launched airstrikes against Iran-linked targets outside Aleppo International Airport in northern Syria.
Here’s more from Joyce Karam with the Al Monitor, who sums up what more we know:
• Iran’s IRGC missile attack
• Struck 25m NE Erbil
• Around 11:30 pm local
• Kurdish Biz man Peshraw Dizaiy killed
• US facilities not impacted
• IRGC strikes also in Syria
• in response to 01/03 Kerman attack
