Missiles fired from Iran hit near the U.S. consulate in Iraq.
BAGHDAD -- As many as 12 missiles struck near a sprawling U.S. consulate complex in the northern Iraqi city of Irbil on Sunday, in what a U.S. defense official and an Iraqi official said was a strike launched from neighboring Iran.
Neither the Iraqi official nor the U.S. officials were authorized to discuss the event with the media and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. "If Iran decides to take revenge ... it will be very, very serious, strong, obvious," he said in an interview with a local news website. Another U.S. official said in a statement that the U.S. condemned what it called an"outrageous attack against Iraqi sovereignty and display of violence."

The department told Congress in a report that the cost of protecting Pompeo and former Iran envoy Brian Hook between August 2021 and February 2022 amounted to $13.1 million. Pompeo and Hook led the Trump administration’s “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran and the report says U.S. intelligence assesses that the threats to them have remained constant since they left government and could intensify.
