Iran Attacks Northern Iraq With Missiles and Drones, Killing at Least 13

Iran attacked northern Iraq on Wednesday with greater than 40 ballistic missiles and armed drones, one in every of which was shot down by a U.S. warplane because it headed towards the town of Erbil the place American troops are primarily based, in line with U.S. and Iraqi officers.

The strikes have been by far the biggest and most dangerous in current days by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which has carried out repeated bombardments of Kurdish areas in northern Iraq since final week, after publicly blaming Iranian Kurdish separatist teams primarily based there for fomenting unrest that has swept throughout Iran.
