Authorities in Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region had earlier said 12 ballistic missiles rained down on Arbil in a pre-dawn attack targeting US interests that slightly wounded two civilians and caused material damage.
The missiles came from beyond Iraq's eastern border, Kurdistan's counter-terrorism unit announced -- in effect saying they were fired from Iran, a nation which wields considerable political and economic influence over Baghdad.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards later confirmed they fired the projectiles, claiming they were targeting sites used by Israel, a top ally of the US.
A "strategic centre for conspiracy and mischiefs of the Zionists was targeted by powerful precision missiles fired by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps", the Guards said in a statement.
Sunday's assault comes nearly a week after the Guards -- Iran's ideological army -- vowed to avenge the death of two of their officers killed in a rocket attack in Syria they blamed on Israel. Iran backs the government in Syria's civil war.
Israel, the Guards said at the time, "will pay for this crime".

Our enemies are emboldened and know that Brandon won’t do a damn thing. Americans, even leftists, are pissed. How long does this go on?
Russia’s client state Iran is emboldened...and Biden is working tirelessly to give away the store to them with a new “deal”.
Official Iranian statements are almost always good for a laugh if nothing else.
And American Jews bow..
This Jew ain’t bowing to anybody or any country like Iran.
Iran will be stopped only by Israel.
All those “Iran will not be allowed to get the bomb” decrees are lies.
There are Jews like me who support Trump or any hardliner out there...
I do not doubt you..but I live in Broward county Florida where Trump is commonly known as Hitler and conservatives are Nazis. I hear this often. Although I do know 1st generation Russian/Ukrainian Jews that sound like you. But they are few.
“The missiles we targeted at Israeli sites but which instead landed near the American consulate in Iraq were of the precision variety.” - Iran’s RG
Let us see if Biden responds. Iran would never have tried this under Trump
Bump
Sounds like the mock title of Werner von Braun’s autobio, I Aim at the Stars ( But Sometimes Hit London).
And this is the country that Biden wants to give a zillion dollars to on top of the zillions Obama gave them.
Only a matter of time for China to sack Taiwan. Biden is week. The west is week.
Iran is a peaceful nation that just wants nukes for defense.
Not so sure about them bowing or to whom but they sure as hell reliably vote deamonrat. It is “traditional” you know.
Just don’t see how supposedly smart people can do that. I conclude they aren’t all that smart.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards later confirmed they fired the projectiles, claiming they were targeting sites used by Israel, a top ally of the US.
Iran’s been warned off by the Administration.
“Hey, stop that or we won’t be able to give you $300 billion (of which we receive a $100 billion kickback”.
Yeah, that'll l'arn 'em! ;^)
Two things. First, the Iranian missiles aren’t very precision if they hit US sites rather than Israeli sites. Second, Iran is pretty stupid and should have targeted US sites rather than Israeli ones. Under Biden the US won’t hit back, but Israel sure would if Iran’s statement is true.
