Iran struck Iraq target over gas talks involving Israel

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A nascent plan for Iraq’s Kurdistan region to supply gas to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
and Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
- with Israeli help - is part of what angered Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.

into striking the Kurdish capital Erbil with ballistic missiles this month, Iraqi and Ottoman Turkish officials say.The March 13 attack on Erbil came as a shock to officials throughout the region for its ferocity, and was a rare publicly declared assault by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).

The IRGC said the strike hit Israeli "strategic centers" in Erbil and was retaliation for an Israeli air raid that killed two of its members in Syria.

The choice of target, however, baffled many officials and analysts. Most of the 12 missiles hit the villa of a Kurdish businessman involved in the autonomous Kurdistan region’s energy sector.
The gentleman is Baz Karim Barzanji, or possibly Baz Karim Barzinji.
Iraqi and Ottoman Turkish officials who spoke to Rooters on condition of anonymity this week said they believe the attack was meant as a multi-pronged message to US allies in the region - but that a key trigger was a plan to pump Kurdish gas into Turkey and Europe, with Israel’s involvement.

"There had been two recent meetings between Israeli and US energy officials and specialists at the villa to discuss shipping Kurdistan gas to Turkey via a new pipeline," an Iraqi security official said.

Iran’s foreign ministry and the IRGC did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

A senior Iranian security official told Rooters the attack was a "multi-purposed message to many people and groups. It’s up to them how to interpret it. Whatever (Israel) is planning, from energy sector to agriculture, will not materialize."
