<p>The Biden administration admitted on Thursday that an American citizen was killed by an apparent Iran-backed attack on Iraq’s Kurdistan region.</p>
<p>The Washington Free Beacon <a href="https://freebeacon.com/national-security/iranian-missile-strikes-kill-american-citizen-state-department-confirms/">noted</a> that reports surfaced Wednesday claiming that an American had been killed after the rocket attack by &#8220;Iran-backed militants sponsored by the country’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).&#8221;</p>
<p>A regional news organization identified the American citizen that was reportedly killed, but the State Department did not confirm the person&#8217;s identity, according to the Free Beacon.</p>
<p>A reporter <a href="https://www.state.gov/briefings/department-press-briefing-september-29-2022/">asked</a> Vedant Patel, the State Department&#8217;s principal deputy spokesperson, about the rocket attacking during a press briefing over the phone on Thursday.</p>
<p>&#8220;Regarding the possible fatalities in Iraqi Kurdistan due to the Iranian missile attacks, do you have any updates – have there – do you know of any Americans having been among those killed?&#8221; the reporter asked. &#8220;Because we have gotten information on at least one individual, U.S. citizen.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;First and foremost as it relates to the attacks, I want to reiterate that we condemn Iran’s violations of Iraq’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,&#8221; Patel responded. &#8220;And the genesis of your question – we can confirm that a U.S. citizen was killed as a result of a rocket attack in the Iraqi Kurdistan region yesterday, but due to privacy considerations I don’t have any further comments to provide.&#8221;</p>
