Iran fires on Gulf neighbors after US military strikes Iranian military targets
Iran said its retaliatory strikes hit U.S. bases and Gulf allies after American bombardment killed at least 4 people at a wedding, officials said.
- On Wednesday, the IRGC struck American bases in Erbil, Iraq, with missiles and drones, claiming the attack destroyed a maintenance facility, warehouses, and the guidance system of a surveillance aerostat.
- As reprisal for American strikes on Revolutionary Guard targets in Iran the previous night, the IRGC launched the assault; the United States Central Command acknowledged executing a fresh wave of strikes on IRGC sites.
- Iraqi Kurdish counterterrorism forces reported that coalition troops downed ten explosive-laden drones over Erbil province early Wednesday, while explosions and flames were observed near the Erbil International Airport.
- Reports indicated attacks on American installations in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait, raising concerns for Baghdad, which seeks to avoid becoming a battleground for the US-Iran rivalry.
- This escalation underscores Iraq's vulnerability as it attempts to deepen economic ties with Gulf nations; Baghdad aims to position the country as a commercial bridge between the Gulf, Turkey, and Europe despite regional instability.
