Security analyst Yair Goldblatt published additional footage on X early Tuesday that he reports shows an Iranian drone striking a Kurdish target in the city of Erbil, northern Iraq. The footage follows a report by Goldblatt roughly 11 minutes earlier, in which he stated that Iranian forces were firing at a high rate toward Kurdish targets in Erbil. The specific target, the type of drone used, and any casualties have not been independently verified. The Kurdistan Region of Iraq has frequently been a theater for Iranian strikes against Kurdish opposition groups, as well as a transit corridor for Iranian missile and drone activity during the broader regional escalation.
