Current situation
On Saturday 12/03/2022 Iran fired up to a dozen missiles near the city of Erbil, which is the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan. Early reports speculated that the intended targets were the newly built United States Consulate in the city, US forces stationed at Erbil International Airport [ORER], and/or the United States Special Operations airbase adjacent to the town of Harir, North-West
of Erbil. However, the Iranian government claimed that the intended target was an Israeli Mossad (Israeli Intelligence Services) base. Iran has also claimed these strikes to be retaliatory, as they have claimed that in recent months Israel has carried out multiple attacks against their military infrastructure.
