TL;DR

Reports from Iranian opposition channels describe a ballistic missile attack from Iran targeting a US radar site in Erbil, northern Iraq. Explosions were heard in the city, possibly from the impact or interceptions, according to unverified local reports. The claim is published by a single source; no US or Iraqi official confirmation is yet available.

01 · THE DISPATCH

New reports indicate a ballistic missile was launched from Iran toward a US radar site in Erbil, northern Iraq, according to a single source cited by Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). Explosions were heard in the city moments ago, which could be the missile's impact or defensive interceptions. No confirmation from US Central Command or Iraqi authorities has been issued. These reports follow a night of multiple explosions across Iran, including in Bandar Abbas and Asaluyeh, as well as ongoing American strikes against Iranian targets — the latest in a wave of US operations since last week. The radar site in Erbil is a US military installation; Iran has claimed attacks on its vicinity before, including during previous rounds of escalation. The credibility of the claim is unverified at this stage, and the single source carries no independent corroboration.
