Iran claimed responsibility Sunday for a barrage of ballistic missiles that hit northern Iraq just after midnight, striking several kilometers from a U.S. compound and drawing sharp condemnation from the Iraqi and U.S. capitals.
The semiofficial Fars news agency said that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps had launched “powerful missiles” in response for what it described as “recent crimes of the fake Zionist regime,” an apparent reference to the killing of two of its members last week in Syria, which it has blamed on Israel.
The U.S. State Department condemned the attacks as “outrageous.” Iraqi officials also issued harsh statements. Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi described the strikes as “an attack on the security of our people.” Masrour Barzani, the prime minister of Iraq’s Kurdistan region, said that it would “stand strong against cowardly attacks.
between both nations were suspended indefinitely earlier this week after Russia, another participant, sought concessions related to its commercial dealings with Tehran.
