i24 News – The building in Iraq which was struck by Iranian missiles on Sunday also served as an Israeli training facility, a top US official disclosed to The New York Times.
A dozen ballistic missiles from Iran hit the city of Erbil before dawn, according to Kurdish and US sources. At least two people were injured.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps later said it targeted “a strategic center for conspiracy and mischiefs of the Zionists.”
The city is the capital of the autonomous Kurdish region of Iraq, which contrasts greatly with Baghdad on Israel.
Beyond openly purchasing oil from Iraqi Kurdistan and voicing support for Kurdish independence, Israel also allegedly maintains security ties with the region’s leaders.
A US consulate was reportedly near the strike, although US officials said there was no damage or casualties in any US building. The nearby Erbil airport, which houses a US military base, was not affected in the attack.
While US bases in Iraq have come under attack by alleged Iranian-backed militias in Iraq, the direct assault against an alleged Israeli target in Iraq’s autonomous Kurdish region reflects an emboldened Iran amid faltering talks in Vienna to revive the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
“New Report” because Israel is furious that it was reported as “Secret Israeli Bases”. In reality there’s no difference. ‘Israeli Training Facility’ = Mossad’s bio chemical labs. The US are also denying that they funded bio-weapon facilities and used the term ‘research labs’.
It figures that a top US official from the Biden administration disclosed this to the The New York Times. Why not reveal this to the Times if it will help Biden save his nuclear deal with Iran.
Let’s not forget how Politico revealed in 2017 how “the Obama administration derailed an ambitious law enforcement campaign targeting drug trafficking by the Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah, even as it was funneling cocaine into the United States” “in its determination to secure a nuclear deal with Iran.” And let’s not forget wht Matzav report a week ago, namely that “the State Department has uncovered an Iranian plot to assassinate former national security adviser John Bolton,” and that “an investigation had uncovered evidence against at least two Iranians, but the Biden administration has reportedly refrained from publicly indicting the men for fear it could derail nuclear deal negotiations in Vienna.”
Ughhhhh!
