Between five and 12 missiles landed on and around the U.S. embassy currently under construction in Erbil (also spelled Irbil), the capital city of the autonomous Kurdistan region of Iraq, early Sunday.
U.S. and Iraqi officials are reporting no known significant damage or casualties. Iran has claimed responsibility for the attack, describing it as retaliation for a recent Israeli strike in Syria that killed two Iranian Revolutionary Guardsmen.
Perhaps Iran’s missiles weren’t capable of reaching Israel, so an American embassy in Iraq was the next best thing? On its website, the revolutionary Guard claimed to have attacked an Israeli “strategic center of conspiracy,” according to AP reporter Qassim Abdul-Zahra.
Video purporting to show the bombardment of the sprawling American compound is being shared on social media.

The Epoch Times reports that the attack may also be retaliation for the neutralization of Qassem Soleimani, then-head of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’s Quds Force (IRGC-QF) by the United States on Jan. 7, 2020.Fars News Agency, which is managed by the IRGC of Iran’s Islamist regime, appeared to link the missile attack to the killing of Soleimani.

“Missiles hit the ‘Israeli-American’ bases at 01:20 local time; ‘that’s not a coincidence’. IRGC-QF chief Soleimani was killed in #Iraq on 7Jan20—01:20 Iraq time. #Iran,” Fars News wrote in a Twitter post, per a translation via journalist Khosro Kalbasi.
Soleimani’s birthday was March 11, and a 2020 retaliatory attack also occurred at 1:20 a.m.
While I’m sure the Iranian Guard included some symbolic numerology in their latest attack, as they do, it’s hard to miss the even more significant aspect of the timing. Namely, the Iran nuclear agreement the Biden Collective has been so eager to complete seems to be falling apart.

With Tehran making more demands all the time and Moscow apparently in on the negotiations, the deal has been heading for the rocks for a while now. Then, on Thursday, a majority-Democrat group of 21 members of Congress sent President Biden a letter, saying they were probably not going to support the deal. The sticking point was the Biden Collective’s reported consideration of lifting anti-terror sanctions that target Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. The New York Post reported on Thursday:“We will review any agreement closely, but from what we currently understand, it is hard to envision supporting an agreement along the lines being publicly discussed,” [the lawmakers] wrote, noting that Secretary of State Antony Blinken had told Congress he would keep the terrorism sanctions in place.
“As the State Department has often noted in reference to a nuclear agreement with Iran, ‘Nothing is agreed until everything is agreed.’ We hope that no agreement is finalized without additionally addressing these concerns,” the lawmakers added.The reps also indicated concern about the precise nuclear conditions that would be placed on Iran and whether Russia would come out of the agreement with economic advantages.
This is that disastrous deal obama/Kerry made where they gave the allotolahs everything they wanted in order to one day destroy Israel. President Trump rightly ended the deal
Now obama/jarrett/klien/biden want it back. These people have no desire to keep America safe.
FJB
Any deal hammered out by this administration will make the Barry deal look like we were taking advantage of the terrorists
Obama couldn’t give away enough to Iran the first time. He’ll direct idiot Biden to finish the package.
Iran is making a point. They are telling their people and the world that even when they attack the US with rockets, the cowards in charge will still beg them for a nuclear deal and submit to Iran’s terms. The days of US supremacy and exceptionalism are over. Idiot Biden will do all he can to confirm that message. Maybe Kerry can apologize to the Iranians for wrecking their missiles with the ground around the consulate and thank them for not killing anyone. He’s good at that.
Someone remind me- who lifted the sanctions on missile manufacturers in Iran?
Uhhhh… Trump? Isn’t everything bad Trump’s fault?
It’s Trump’s fault Soleimani is dead, that’s for sure.
But do not date any pro soleimani women
Nevada Woman stabs her date in revenge for Soleimani killing…
HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — A woman stabbed her date whom she had met online in retaliation for the 2020 death of an Iranian military leader killed in an American drone strike, police said.
Nika Nikoubin, 21, has been charged with attempted murder, battery with a deadly weapon and burglary. Nikoubin and the man met online on a dating website. The pair then agreed to meet at Sunset Station hotel on March 5, renting a room together.
While in the room, the pair began having sex when Nikoubin put a blindfold on the man, police said. Nikoubin then turned off the lights, and several minutes later, the man “felt a pain on the side of his neck.”
Nikoubin reportedly stabbed the man in the neck “for revenge against U.S. troops for the killing of Qassem Soleimani in 2020,” police wrote in a report.
When talking to police, Nikoubin told an investigator “she wanted revenge,” police said. She said she had listened to a song called “Grave Digger,” which “gave her the motivation… to carry out her revenge.”
Nikoubin is scheduled to appear in court for a preliminary hearing March 24.
Funny how she, and Iran, waiting until after Trump was illegally beat…and a year after, to boot.
Cowards.
