Iran fired a series of missiles toward the U.S. consulate in Erbil, Iraq, on Sunday, March 13 according to U.S. officials.
The missiles, according to senior U.S. security officials, were fired towards the U.S. consulate in Erbil from Iran.
As many as 12 missiles were fired with several missiles hitting the building, Iraqi and US security officials said.
Iranian state media agency IRNA, citing local reports, claimed without evidence that “secret Israeli bases” were targeted in the attack.
The US state department said in a press statement that out of all the multiple missiles that were fired, none made contact with the consulate.
Officials said all U.S. personnel are accounted for and that no casualties have been reported after the airstrike near the unmanned consulate in Erbil, the capital of the autonomous Kurdish region of northern Iraq.
