A series of explosions was reported in the northern Iraqi city of Erbil on Tuesday evening, with Iraqi outlets suggesting the blasts targeted U.S. assets in the city. Israeli security analyst Yair Goldblatt stated that the explosions are believed to be the result of Iranian fire. The Kurdistan Region of Iraq, of which Erbil is the capital, has been a frequent transit corridor and target for Iranian ballistic and drone activity, often justified by Tehran as strikes against Kurdish opposition groups. The Zioneer has previously reported on multiple similar incidents in the area over the past months. No official confirmation from U.S., Iraqi, or Iranian authorities has been released, and there are no immediate reports of casualties or material damage. The situation remains under assessment.
