Multiple rockets were reportedly fired toward the U.S. consulate located in Erbil, a city in northwestern Iraq. Several missiles hit the consulate building, a source close to the matter <a href="https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2022-03-12/missiles-target-us-consulate-in-north-iraq-no-casualties#:~:text=Iraqi%20security%20forces%20say%20at,several%20missiles%20hitting%20the%20building.&amp;text=March%2012%2C%202022%2C%20at%207%3A19%20p.m.">told</a> the Associated Press.
&#8220;One of the officials said the ballistic missiles were fired from Iran,&#8221; the AP <a href="https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2022-03-12/missiles-target-us-consulate-in-north-iraq-no-casualties#:~:text=Iraqi%20security%20forces%20say%20at,several%20missiles%20hitting%20the%20building.&amp;text=March%2012%2C%202022%2C%20at%207%3A19%20p.m.">reported</a>. &#8220;The attack comes several days after an Israeli strike near Damascus, Syria killed two members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.&#8221;
The AP added that &#8220;Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency quoted Iraqi media acknowledging the attacks, without saying where they originated.&#8221;
Axios is also <a href="https://www.axios.com/report-missiles-may-targeted-us-consulate-erbil-iraq-1438db05-626c-4d43-b84c-58a6b6cf3676.html">reporting</a> that a source at the U.S. State Department claimed that &#8220;[there] is no damage or casualties at any U.S. government facility.”
<blockquote>&#8220;We are looking into the reported attack near Erbil,&#8221; a Pentagon spokesperson told Axios.</blockquote>
<blockquote>The State Department spokesperson said the incident &#8220;is being investigated by the government of Iraq and the Kurdish Regional Government.&#8221;</blockquote>
<blockquote>&#8220;We condemn this outrageous attack and display of violence,&#8221; the spokesperson added.</blockquote>
Videos of the alleged attack were shared on Twitter:

The Jerusalem Post <a href="https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-701103">provided</a> more details of the attacks, also based on &#8220;Independent open-source intelligence (OSINT) accounts.&#8221;
The videos were &#8220;reportedly shared by Iranian civilians showing missiles being fired from Iran at the time of the attack, with at least one of the videos being geolocated to a site in Khasabad in the East Azerbaijan province of Iran.&#8221;

The Post added, &#8220;No party has taken responsibility for the missile fire as of yet. Iran has threatened retaliation in recent days&#8221; or the aforementioned alleged Israeli air strike.
In reaction to the news, Michael Doran, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, tweeted: “If this report is accurate, and Iran indeed launched ballistic missiles at US targets in Erbil, then this is an act of war, pure and simple.&#8221;
&#8220;The United States has no choice but to respond appropriately,&#8221; he added.

&#8220;I presume that the Iranian attack on Erbil was a response to Israel killing two Iranian colonels in Damascus,&#8221; Doran said in a separate tweet. &#8220;The message from Tehran to the Americans is: &#8216;Rein in the Israelis, or we will escalate against you.&#8217; I fear the White House will indeed blame the Israelis and not Iran.&#8221;

Andrew McCarthy, a former U.S. assistant attorney and columnist for National Review, added, &#8220;Could we possibly stop stupid s*** about how people are supposedly hopped up for war with Iran? Iran is at war with us — what we ‘want’ is not the point. Question is: What do we do about it?&#8221;
&#8220;It would be foolish to assume Iran not coordinating with patron angry over West’s aid to Ukraine,&#8221; he added. &#8220;This is a test by our enemies: Iran executing, Russia urging, China watching. Biden needs to show resolve.&#8221;
