The US criticized Iran for shooting missiles near Irbil in Iraq, calling it a dangerous and not accurate set of attacks.
The Revolutionary Guards of Iran said they attacked what they said were places where Israeli spies were working in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
The Kurdistan Region Security Council said four people died and six were hurt in Monday’s attack.
Iraq expressed disapproval of the attacks, saying they broke its rules.
The Israeli government has not said anything about the claims from Iran.
In another news, Kurdistan officials said they had used guns to bring down three drones with weapons, that were flying over Irbil airport where US and international forces are stationed, Reuters reported. Officials did not tell us about any harm or injuries.
The Iranian attacks happened when things were already tense in the region because of the war between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas, which is supported by Iran. The war started on 7 October in the Gaza Strip.
The fighting is spreading to include groups that are supported by Iran in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen.
“We will keep checking the situation, but it looks like these strikes were reckless and not accurate,” said Adrienne Watson, who speaks for the White House National Security Council.
“She said the United States is on Iraq’s side and wants them to be free and safe. No US people or buildings were attacked. ”
The Revolutionary Guards of Iran said that they destroyed a main spying base of Mossad in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq using ballistic missiles.
A comment was made in reaction to the recent terrible actions of the Zionist government.
Iran has launched missile attacks in Iraqi Kurdistan, aiming at places where they believe Iranian separatist groups and Israeli agents are located.
The leader of the Kurdistan Regional Government, Masrour Barzani, criticized the recent attack on Irbil as a “bad thing for the Kurdish people”.
A well-known businessman named Peshraw Dizayee was one of four civilians who were killed, according to Mr. Barzani’s Kurdistan Democratic Party.
The Revolutionary Guards said they attacked Islamic State (IS) group areas in Syria on Monday night.
Loud blasts were heard in the city of Aleppo and the surrounding area in north-western Syria. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that at least four missiles came from the Mediterranean Sea and landed there.
The Revolutionary Guards attacked in Syria because of a suicide bombing that happened this month. It was done in revenge for the killing of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani by the US.
The attack in Kerman, in southern Iran, killed at least 94 people and hurt many others.
