Multiple 'Iranian-produced ballistic missiles' smash into US Army base and Kurdish news channel office in Erbil in Iraq

Multiple rockets have smashed into a U.S. Army base and a Kurdish news channel office in Erbil, Northern Iraq.

At least a dozen 'Iranian-produced ballistic missiles' hit the city in the early hours of Sunday, Governor Omed Khoshnaw confirmed.

He said it was not clear whether the missiles were targeting the American consulate at the site, or the airport in the city.

Kurdish and U.S. officials confirmed that there were no casualties in what they're calling an 'outrageous attack,' adding that no group has immediately claimed responsibility for the strike.

No further details were immediately available but videos posted online appeared to show several 'Iranian produced' ballistic missiles hitting the base in Erbil.

Iraqi Shi'ite Muslim cleric Moqtada al-Sadr said on Twitter: 'Erbil is under fire... as if Kurds were not Iraqis'.

The attack came during a pause in Vienna over Tehran's tattered nuclear deal following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

US Marine Gen. Frank McKenzie had warned about attacks in the area back in December, when he told the Associated Press that while American forces in Iraq have switched to a non-combat role last year, Iran and it's proxies 'still want American troops to leave the country.'

As a result, McKenzie said, 'that may trigger more attacks' on American bases.

You must ask yourself “What would Trump do?”

Biden would do the exact opposite.

A message to Biden (Obama) to send them some more cash pallets.

Part of Biden’s new deal with Iran?

Sell us oil, and you can kill Americans and Iraqis? (and practice for when you perfect your nukes.)

Iran will continue to negotiate, get what she can and build a bomb.
Iran will test the accuracy of her ballistic missiles in the meantime.
Iran will strike American forces, knowing that the US will not respond.

The US and world will say repeatedly, “...we will not let Iran get the bomb”.

In the end it will be up to the Israelis to do the world’s dirty work once again as was done in Iraq 1981, Syria 2007 and not too far into the future, Iran.

If Trump was in charge the mullahs would have each gotten a Hellfire missile for breakfast the next morning.

Just think about the Iran Deal, it’s so bad you couldn’t make it up and have anyone believe you but it’s true.

Iran will not talk directly to the USA, therefore, Iran talks to Russia, Russia then talks to the USA and vice versa.

So are using Russia who we are in a near war against, in order to negotiate with Iran who has sworn to destroy us, and now Iran is shooting at us...you can’t make it up.

Not to worry.

Jack Black, Morgan Freeman, Thomas Pickering, Queen Noor et al, loved Obarry’s JCPOA.

Russia/Iran.

Oh yeah, Ezekiel 38 will happen.

They’re making it happen.

Every drop of US military blood shed, every US tax dollar to the ME is a direct result of Carter’s Shaw problem.
