Iran claims responsibility for missile strike on US Consulate

Erbil, Iraq -- Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards claimed responsibility for the missile attack that struck Iraq in the northern Kurdish regional capital of Erbil early Sunday morning, Iran's state media reported. They said the attack was against Israeli "strategic centers" in Erbil. So, since the attack was alleged to be against the Jews, it was okay in their little anti-Semitic minds. 

The missiles targeted the U.S. consulate among other sites, according to the Kurdish regional government. The latest reports say the Fateh-110 ballistic missiles came from Iranian territory, which given the size of the explosions, this seems likely.

The attack on the US Consulate came as talks to revive the Iran nuclear deal that began in 2015 under then-President Obama and later quashed by President Trump. A last-minute Russian demand forced world powers to pause the negotiations for an undetermined period of time, in spite of leaving a largely completed text that would allow Iran to go nuclear in the near future, but not for now.

The missiles targeted the U.S. consulate‘s new building and a neighboring residential area. Only material damage resulted and one civilian injured. An Iraqi security official said the missiles were manufactured in Iran, and the Iran government does not deny sending us their "gift."

Iran‘s Revolutionary Guards released a statement taking responsibility for the missile attack against Israeli "strategic centers" in Erbil, Iran‘s state media reported.

"Any repetition of attacks by Israel will be met with a harsh, decisive and destructive response," the Revolutionary Guard said in the statement, causing PINO Joe Biden to drop a deuce.

A U.S. State Department spokesperson called the missile attack on our Consulate an "outrageous attack" but said no Americans were hurt and there was no damage to U.S. government facilities so, "no harm, no foul. We forgive you. Please stop trying to kill us."

Meanwhile, the US has sent Javelin missiles, firearms, ammunition and other weapons of war, but refuse to send aircraft because it's somehow different and might make Vladimir Putin angry.
