The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) released footage on Monday purporting to show an attack on a US military base near Erbil International Airport in Iraqi Kurdistan. The footage, posted via the source linked to the force, shows an explosion at what it describes as a target. The timing and location of the alleged strike are not specified in the clip.
The IRGC has previously claimed to have struck US military installations in the Erbil area. In July, The Zioneer reported that the IRGC claimed a ballistic missile strike on a US radar site at the Al-Harir base, and separately claimed a direct hit on the Al Harir air base. The claims have not been independently verified by the US Central Command, which has not reported any damage or casualties from those incidents.
The newly released footage does not provide geolocation or timestamps, and independent verification of the attack remains pending. The US military has not commented on the footage.
