Multiples rockets were reportedly fired toward the U.S. consulate located in Erbil, a city in northwestern Iraq. Several missiles hit the consulate building, a source close to the matter told the Associated Press.
“One of the officials said the ballistic missiles were fired from Iran,” the AP reported. “The attack comes several days after an Israeli strike near Damascus, Syria killed two members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.”
The AP added that “Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency quoted Iraqi media acknowledging the attacks, without saying where they originated.”
Videos of the alleged attack were shared on Twitter:
The Jerusalem Post provided more details of the attacks, also based on “Independent open-source intelligence (OSINT) accounts.”
The videos were “reportedly shared by Iranian civilians showing missiles being fired from Iran at the time of the attack, with at least one of the videos being geolocated to a site in Khasabad in the East Azerbaijan province of Iran.”
The Post added that “No party has taken responsibility for the missile fire as of yet. Iran has threatened retaliation in recent days” or the aforementioned alleged Israeli air strike.
