The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed the targets were “headquarters of spies” and “anti-Iranian terrorist gatherings in parts of the region”.
National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson, said, “We have been in touch with senior Iraqi officials as well as officials in the Kurdistan Region.”
“Iran is claiming this is in response to the terrorist attacks in Kerman, Iran and Rask, Iran, with a focus on ISIS,” she continued.
“We will continue to assess the situation, but initial indications are that this was a reckless and imprecise set of strikes,” said Watson.
“The United States supports the sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity of Iraq,” the spokesperson concluded.
The attacks occurred amidst increased regional tensions, including ongoing attacks by Iranian proxies against U.S. forces and continued aggression by Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Iranian-backed Houthis.
