IRGC-ASF launches missile strikes against anti-Iran terrorists in Pakistan, Iraq and Syria - Pakistan responds

[Persian Gulf]

Residents in Erbil reported hearing several loud explosions, with footage of what looked like large ballistic missile impacts circulating on social media. The IRGC has recently confirmed that it struck the HQs of anti-Iran terrorist groups in Erbil.

This comes almost two weeks after the worst terrorist attack in the history of the Islamic Republic when ISIS terrorists targeted civilians mourning the assassination of Shahid Soleimani in Kerman, killing 94 civilians (including many children) and injuring 284 civilians.

This is a developing story.

Confirmed by IRGC (state media released footage of the missiles being fired from Iran in the tweet I shared above)

The strikes just happened in the last hour or two, will take time for casualties / damage assessment

Leveled? That would cause large numbers of casualties surely. If true.

Airport in Iraqi Kurdistan shut down amid reported strikes from Iran’s IRGC​

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announces that it targeted a “spy headquarters” and a “gathering of anti-Iran terrorist groups” with ballistic missiles, moments after explosions rocked several areas of Iraqi Kurdistan.

Three security sources tell Reuters that the airport in Erbil, which is the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan, has stopped air traffic following the explosions.

There is no immediate confirmation of what was struck, but the IRGC announcement appears highly rare and significant.
