Iran claimed to have attacked the US embassy and an American military base in Erbil, northern Iraq, according to a report tonight. The claim follows an earlier barrage of rockets and drones fired by Iranian-backed militias at the same targets, as The Zioneer reported at 21:51. No independent confirmation or details on casualties were immediately available.
The report, published at 22:04 Jerusalem time, states that Iran directly attacked the US embassy and an American military base in Erbil. The nature of the attack—whether by missiles, drones, or other means—was not specified. Earlier this evening, at 21:51, The Zioneer reported that Iranian-backed militias had fired dozens of rockets and suicide drones at the same targets, based on Iraqi sources. The new claim suggests a direct Iranian role, though the two reports may reflect the same unfolding event. No independent verification or casualty figures have emerged.
