Iranian attack on Iraq: A senior U.S. official said tonight (Monday through Tuesday) that the attack on the Islamic Republic’s Revolutionary Guards was aimed at an Israeli training facility in the Kurdish region, Arbil. It was further reported that despite the various reports, the US Consulate was not the target of the attack. However, the source said that although the consulate was not nearby, “the Iranians did not care whether to harm it or not,” he said.
As you may recall, 12 ballistic missiles were fired on the night between Saturday and Sunday, at several targets in Arbil, Kurdish officials said, adding that there were no casualties. The Revolutionary Guards in Iran claimed responsibility for the attack. At the same time, the media in Iran claimed that the attacks were intended for “secret bases of Israel.” The Revolutionary Guards warned Israel of a “harsh, decisive and destructive response” in the event of future attacks.
The American source linked the Iranian attack to an attack attributed to Israel in Syria last week, in which two Revolutionary Guards officers were killed – Colonel Ahsan Karbalaypur and Colonel Morteza Saidanjad. A statement from the organization said shortly after the incident that “the Zionist regime will pay for this crime.”
