Iran says fires missiles on ‘Israeli sites’ in Iraq’s Arbil
GBnews24desk//
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards confirmed they fired the projectiles, claiming they were targeting sites used by Israel, a top ally of the US.
A “strategic centre for conspiracy and mischiefs of the Zionists was targeted by powerful precision missiles fired by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps”, the Guards said in a statement.
There was no immediate reaction from Israel. Kurdish authorities insisted that the Jewish state has no sites in or anywhere near Arbil, and accused Iran of repeatedly targeting the autonomous region without international censure.
Iran holds considerable influence over the federal government in Baghdad, and Iraq is home to a dwindling number of US troops who lead a coalition against the Islamic State jihadist group.
Washington has routinely blamed rocket and drone attacks on its interests in Iraq — including sites in Kurdistan — on pro-Iran groups who demand the departure of the remaining troops.
