Default Iran launched 6 IRBM toward Irbil (Iraq)

6 missiles have been launched toward the city of Erbil from Iran. They landed near the US consulate in the city.


There is damage at the Krudistan 24 TV building.

That came a little bit unexpected, didn't it?

I speculate: somebody wants the US to sign the nuclear deal with Iran although the US drifts away from doing so due to sanctions against Russia. Somebody shows what w/could happen if he does not get what he wants. Russia demands to benefit economically from any such deal.

Ukraine and Russia.
Now Iran, Iraq and USA.
Next Taiwan and China?

More or less the other way around, but: yes.



However, the attack there could also be some internal Shia-Sunni feud. Or sdomethign between ethnic groupos. Or clashes for influence between the Mullahs in Iran and Iraqi clerics. As I said: I speculated in the post above.

Thank you.
So a military response from US will not happen as I predict.

Who knows?

It depends on the results of their investigation. If they think it was indeed an attack on the embassy, some places in Iran have a hard time ahead of them.
