Breaking: Ballistic Missiles Fired At U.S Consulate In Iraq by Jeromejnr(m): 5:34am On Mar 13, 2022
Several ballistic missiles launched from Iran were fired at the US consulate building in Erbil, Iraq, on March 13, 2022.

Up to a dozen ballistic missiles launched from Iran were fired early Sunday morning towards the US consulate in Iraq’s Kurdistan region capital of Erbil, officials said.

While no casualties were reported, Iraqi and US officials gave differing accounts of the attack, which also damaged the office building of a Kurdish news outlet.

A US State Department spokesperson told The Associated Press the strike was an “outrageous attack against Iraqi sovereignty and display of violence.”

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said no Americans were injured and there was no damage to the new government consulate building in Erbil, which is currently unoccupied.

Iraq officials have claimed that as many as 12 missiles from Iran struck the consulate and caused material damage. They reported no casualties in the attack, which happened just after midnight.

The attack is being investigated by the government of Iraq and the Kurdish Regional Government. Iraq officials claimed that the missiles were fired from Iran, without elaborating. US officials could not confirm what type of missiles was fired.

The strike comes days after an Israeli airstrike killed two members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard near Damascus, Syria. Iran’s foreign ministry strongly condemned the attack Wednesday and vowed revenge.

Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency quoted Iraqi media acknowledging the attacks in Irbil, but did not say where the missiles came from.

Negotiation talks in Vienna, Austria surrounding America’s potential return to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal broke up without an agreement on Friday after new Russian demands scrambled the talks.

Marine Gen. Frank McKenzie, the top U.S. commander in the Middle East, told AP in December that while remaining US forces in Iraq have pivoted to a non-combative advisory role, Iran and Iran-backed militias still want all American troops out of the region and said he expected more attacks.

No way in hell would the Government of Iran would attack the U.S. consulate in Ebril, at a time when the U.S. is looking to buy more Iranian oil and also resume back the Iranian nuclear deal.

Everyone take a deep breath until we find out what this really is. Also, the U.S. says no U.S. personnel died in the attack.

Also, if it really is the Iranians or separatist rebels, there's no way the US won't respond.... US has always responded to these types of attacks.

The world is growing tired of the West. Is it too much to ask for them to pull back to their countries? America God-complex attitude is making the world to reject and hate them.

This is why I will always stand the the West.
You can't allow countries with sympathy for terrorist have nuclear weapons.

If it's a nuclear weapon, that's how they'll call it an error.

This is the same country that mistakenly shot down a passenger plane

They're no diff from the Nigerian Air force
