The incident follows earlier reports of projectiles fired toward the US base in Erbil, as The Zioneer reported at 20:44 Jerusalem. Over the past week, Iranian forces have launched multiple attacks on US facilities in Iraq, including strikes on the US embassy in Baghdad and the base in Erbil, with Tehran claiming responsibility for some of them. On July 17, The Zioneer reported that Iran launched drones and missiles toward the US embassy in Iraq and the base in Erbil.
The US military has not yet issued a statement on the latest incident. The source of the interception—whether US or Iraqi air defenses—remains unclear. The full scope of the attack is still developing.
