US officials: American facilities not affected by Iranian missile strike on Iraqi Kurdistan
Missile strikes in Iraq did not affect any US facilities and there are no US casualties, two US officials tell Reuters, as Iran’s Revolutionary Guards takes credit for a strike near Iraq’s northern city of Erbil.
The US officials decline to further comment.
Explosions were heard in an area some 40 kilometers northeast of Erbil in the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region, local sources said, in an area near the US consulate as well as civilian residences.
