The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran has issued an announcement acknowledging accountability for a ballistic missile assault on Erbil, Iraq. The IRGC claims the strike was geared toward “destroying spy headquarters” and “disrupting anti-Iranian teams.”
Al Hadath, citing safety sources, reported that the missiles of the Islamic Republic landed close to the US consulate in Erbil. Meanwhile, a Sky News correspondent reported that a number of missiles concentrating on a world base at Erbil airport have been intercepted.
Initially, the IRGC attributed the assaults to ISIS in Syria, justifying them as a response to an explosion that killed members within the anniversary ceremony of Qasem Soleimani in Kerman and the dying of a number of navy personnel at a police base in Rask. Subsequently, with out referring to those earlier claims, the IRGC acknowledged in one other announcement that the assault was a response to the killing of a few of its commanders and commanders of Iranian proxy teams by Israel. The assault with ballistic missiles was reportedly geared toward one of many most important Mossad headquarters within the Kurdistan area of Iraq.
The state of affairs stays tense as particulars of the assault and its implications proceed to unfold. The incident marks a big escalation in regional tensions and raises issues about additional instability within the Middle East.
