Iran’s Revolutionary Guards claims responsibility for a dozen ballistic missiles that struck an Iraqi city, Iran’s state media says.
“Any repetition of attacks by Israel will be met with a harsh, decisive and destructive response,” the Revolutionary Guard said in a statement reported by state media.
A U.S. official blamed Iran for the attack earlier on Sunday but did not give further details. Iranian officials have yet to comment. Separately, U.S. State Department spokesperson called it an “outrageous attack” but said no Americans were hurt and there was no damage to U.S. government facilities in Erbil.
U.S. forces stationed at Erbil’s international airport complex have in the past come under fire from rocket and drone attacks that Washington blames on Iran-aligned militia groups, but no such attacks have occurred for several months. “Iran's premature to point finger of blame at specific party but initial reports show indisputably that it was a cross-border short range missile attack,” an Iraqi security official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said.In another sign of increased regional tensions, Iran also suspended on Sunday a fifth round of talks with regional rivalThe last time ballistic missiles were directed at U.S. forces was in January 2020 — an Iranian retaliation for the U.S.
