The United States has condemned Iran over ballistic missile strikes on Iraq’s northern city of Irbil on Monday night, calling them “reckless and imprecise”.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they struck what they claimed were an Israeli “spy headquarters” in Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdistan Region, however, local authorities said that four civilians were killed and six hurt in the attack.
Iran has declared that it does not want to get involved in a wider conflict, but groups in its so-called “Axis of Resistance” have been carrying out attacks on Israel and its allies to show solidarity with the Palestinians.
Iraq recalled its ambassador from Tehran, condemning the strikes as a “blatant violation” of sovereignty but there has been no comment from Israel.
