Iranian missile attack in Erbil struck Israeli training facility, US official tells NYT; Wait — never mind, it isn’t, says a more senior
[IsraelTimes] One of the buildings in Erbil struck over the weekend by a missile fired by Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was an Israeli training facility, a senior US official tells The New York Times

... which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

The US consulate was not the target of the attack, but the IRGC does not mind that it was nearby, the official adds.

Iraqi PM inspects site of Iran missile attack which Tehran said targeted Israeli base
[IsraelTimes] Iraq’s prime minister meets with Kurdish officials and inspects the site of an Iranian missile attack near the American consulate in the northern Iraqi city of Erbil.

Mustafa al Kadhimi is received by Masrour Barzani, prime minister of the semi-autonomous Kurdish-controlled region.

The Iraqi premier inspected damage caused by some 12 ballistic missiles that landed near the US consulate, which is new and unoccupied, and caused damage to a nearby local television channel.

grabbed credit for Sunday’s missile barrage, calling it retaliation for an alleged Israeli strike in Syria that killed two members of its Revolutionary Guard last week.

A "strategic center for conspiracy and mischiefs of the Zionists was targeted by powerful precision missiles fired by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps," the Guards said in a statement.

Kurdish authorities have dismissed as "baseless" Iran’s claims of Israeli sites in the area.

warns it won’t tolerate "threats" coming from Iraq, a day after firing ballistic missiles at what it said was an Israeli site in the neighboring country.

"It is not at all acceptable that one of our neighbors that has deep relations with us... becomes a center for creating threats against the Islamic Theocratic Republic," says foreign ministry front man Saeed Khatibzadeh.

"Iran will not tolerate that a center near its borders becomes the center for sabotage, conspiracy and sending terrorist groups to Iran," he says at his weekly presser in Tehran.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said Sunday they had targeted a "strategic center" belonging to Israel in the northern Iraqi city of Erbil, using "powerful precision missiles."

Kurdish authorities, however, insisted that Israel has no sites in or near Erbil, the capital of their autonomous region in Iraq’s north.

So unprofessional:
