A major rocket attack just went down in Iraq, and apparently it was targeting Americans. It appears the massive explosions, which have been caught on videos, struck the U.S. Consulate, and perhaps an American military installation.
“Multiple rockets have smashed into a US Army base and a Kurdish news channel office in Erbil, northern Iraq,” the Daily Mail reports. “At least five ‘Iranian-produced ballistic missiles’ hit the city in the early hours of Sunday, Governor Omed Khoshnaw confirmed.”
BREAKING: Sky News Arabia is reporting that multiple long-range ballistic missiles have been fired targeting the U.S. consulate in Erbil, Iraq.

Iranian missiles on their way from Tabriz in Iran to destroy the American base in Erbil, Iraq.. A strong Iranian escalation, but I do not expect a response in the presence of the old senile Biden administration.#العراق #أوكرانيا #روسيا #Russian #Ukraine #Kyiv #China #Taiwan pic.twitter.com/p4hqNW7cHG
