“Response to the atrocities of the Zionists”: Iran launched a missile strike, the Houthis attacked an American ship
Iran launched a missile attack on Israeli targets in Iraqi Kurdistan.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) reported this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“In response to the recent atrocities of the Zionist regime, which resulted in the killing of Guard and Axis Resistance commanders, one of the main Mossad spy headquarters in Iraqi Kurdistan was destroyed using ballistic missiles,” the IRGC said.
Initially, a number of media outlets wrote that the attack was carried out on an American military base in Erbil and the US consulate.
However, the United States officially announced that American facilities were not damaged.
“We were tracking missiles that hit northern Iraq and northern Syria. No American personnel or facilities were attacked,” White House National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson said.
She said there was a “reckless and inaccurate series of strikes.
At the moment, the death of the Kurdish businessman Peshrav Zeya, who is considered to be associated with the Mossad, who owns the Empire and Falcon Group companies, has been confirmed.
“Four rockets flew into his house. To understand, Falcon was founded in 4 after the occupation of Iraq. The main areas of activity are oil, construction, security. She received a license to work in Iraq almost immediately after the overthrow of Saddam from the occupation administration. The security service employs a large number of former US military personnel.
The importance of the figure is confirmed by the fact that 4 (!) ballistic missiles were not spared on it,” points out military observer Boris Rozhin.
He believes that in this way, “Iran shows that, if it wants, it can eliminate any person associated with Israel on the territory of Iraq and no security will protect it, because a ballistic missile will simply arrive.”
The American television channel ABC does not confirm the attack on the US consulate in Erbil, but notes that eight objects were hit near the building.
Military correspondent Abbas Juma clarifies:
“According to one of my comrades living in the center of Erbil, the blow fell not on the existing consulate, but on the new one, which is just being built. It was all scaffolding and construction cranes. Eyewitnesses say that they were building something grandiose.”
In addition, the Lebanese Al-Mayadeen TV channel reports that Iran fired missiles into the north-west of Syria at the base of ISIS terrorists.
Military blogger Yuri Podolyaka recalls that on January 3, a terrorist attack occurred in the Iranian city of Kerman, which killed about 100 people.
“In fact, today’s strike was a kind of response from Iran, which could not do anything in response so as not to lose face in front of its own population and allies. But the result (at least for now it looks like this) was exactly the same as in the revenge for the assassination of General Qassem Soleimani exactly four years ago, when Iran also allegedly took revenge on the United States with a missile strike.
But at the same time, the American military, whom Tehran seemed to have warned in advance, was not particularly harmed. But this was followed by détente and certain American concessions to Iran, and the conflict was thus closed. All parties retained their face.
It is quite possible that the same thing will happen now, especially since Israel ALSO the other day (!!!) suddenly announced the “next stage of the war in Gaza” as a result of which it ... began to withdraw troops from there. Without ending the occupation of this Palestinian enclave and without inflicting a decisive defeat on the local Hamas (as was initially stated as the main goal of the military operation in Gaza).
In any case, it is clear that the main parties to this conflict are in no hurry to cross the “red line” in this showdown,” writes Podolyaka.
It is noteworthy that earlier the Yemeni Houthis announced that they had attacked an American ship.
“The naval forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces conducted a military operation targeting an American ship in the Gulf of Aden. All American and British ships that participated in aggression against our country are considered hostile targets by the Yemeni military. The Yemeni Armed Forces confirm that retaliation against US and British attacks is inevitable and that no future attack will go unpunished.
The Yemeni Armed Forces continue to conduct their military operations and implement the decision to block Israeli shipping in the Arab and Red Seas until the aggression ceases and the siege of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is lifted.
The Yemeni Armed Forces confirm the continuation of trade traffic in the Arabian and Red Seas to all destinations, with the exception of the ports of occupied Palestine, and that they continue to take all defensive and offensive measures within the framework of the right to defend and resist US-British aggression,” the official statement said. statement from the Houthi military command.
