Iran claims responsibility for missile strike near US consulate in Iraq (unknown)

Revolutionary Guards say target in Erbil was Israeli 'strategic centre' following attack in Syria.

The US defence official said it was still uncertain exactly how many missiles were fired and exactly where they had landed. One Iraqi official in Baghdad initially said several missiles had hit the US consulate in Erbil and that it was the target of the attack. In retaliation, Iran launched a barrage of missiles at al-Asad airbase, where US troops were stationed. Later, Lawk Ghafari, the head of Kurdistan’s foreign media office, said none of the missiles had struck the US facility but that areas around the compound had been hit. The troops will still provide air support and other military aid for Iraq’s fight against Islamic State. US forces stationed at Erbil’s airport compound have come under fire from rocket and drone attacks in the past, with US officials blaming Iran-backed groups.
