IRGC claims missile/drone strikes on US facilities in Erbil, Iraq

Iran's IRGC claims it launched missile and drone strikes on US facilities in Erbil, Iraq, destroying a maintenance facility, warehouses, fuel storage, and a surveillance balloon control system. The claim is unverified and follows a pattern of Iranian attacks on US assets in the region, but the specific targeting of a surveillance balloon system marks a notable escalation. This raises the risk of US-Iranian military confrontation in Iraq.
