"Iran Claims Responsibility for Attack Near US Consulate in Iraq"
TL;DR
Iran's Revolutionary Guard claimed responsibility for missile attacks near the U.S. consulate in Erbil, Iraq, targeting what it alleged were Israeli "spy headquarters." The strikes resulted in casualties, but no Americans were harmed, and U.S. facilities were unaffected. Tehran also conducted strikes in Syria, citing retribution for recent terror attacks in Iran. The attacks are seen as retaliation for previous blasts near the tomb of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani, which were claimed by ISIS.
