Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it carried out a missile strike on what it called an Israeli “strategic center” in the northern Iraqi city of Erbil, according to a statement on the group’s official news portal, Sepah News.
The semi-official Tasnim news agency, which is closely aligned to the IRGC, said 10 precision-guided missiles were fired from northwestern Iran, citing an informed source that it didn’t name. The report added that the strike “very likely” resulted in “many casualties” without providing any details.
U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman said no one had been hurt or killed in the attack, denying earlier reports that the U.S. consulate in Erbil was the target. In an interview with Fox News, she said the incident was “of great concern to all of us” and amounted to an assault on Iraq’s sovereignty.
