Tensions are soaring in the Middle East as Iran launched a massive ballistic missile attack hitting targets in Syria and Iraq. Iran hit targets at a distance of 1,200 km. This is the longest-range strike in its history.

Targets in Iraq included:

• Mossad headquarters in Erbil.
• the US military base at Erbil Airport
• the US Consulate in Iraqi Kurdistan located in Erbil;
• the local headquarters of the Kurdish security service
• the private residence of a local Mossad-connected businessman

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said today that a ballistic missile attack on the northern Iraqi city of Erbil resulted in the destruction of a Mossad headquarters used by anti-Iranian groups.

Iranian sources say the attack near the US Consulate in the northern Iraqi city of Erbil was carried out by 6 Fateh-110 ballistic missiles.

According to Iranian sources, the ballistic missiles that targeted the city of Erbil in northern Iraq and the city of Aleppo in northern Syria were fired from the missile base near the city of Ahvaz in southwestern Iran.

The missile strike on Israel's "espionage headquarters" in northern Iraq, near the city of Erbil (but also against ISIS targets in Syria) is a response "to the recent atrocities of the Zionist regime that caused the killing of commanders of the Guards and the Axis of Resistance" Iran's Revolutionary Guards claim.

As they report , "one of the main espionage headquarters of the Mossad in the Kurdistan region of Iraq was destroyed by ballistic missiles" while at the same time declaring that the aggressive actions will continue until they take revenge "for the last drops of blood of the martyrs".

The elite body of the Iranian army announced in the early hours of the morning (16/01) that it had launched a barrage of ballistic missiles against "terrorist" facilities in northern Iraq and Syria.

In Syria, an ISIS target was hit in Aleppo.

They officially claimed responsibility for the strikes, saying the ballistic missiles were aimed at US and Mossad bases in Iraq.

No casualties were confirmed by the US military, although the Iraqi press claimed several ambulances were spotted heading for the US consulate and military base. The facilities were heavily damaged.

Via its news website, Sepah News, the Revolutionary Guards also reported that they had identified "gathering places of commanders and key elements linked to recent terrorist acts, particularly of the Islamic State," and that they had "destroyed" them by firing "ballistic missiles ».

They added that these strikes were carried out in "retribution for the recent crimes of terrorist acts" after the deaths of around a hundred people "in Kerman and Rask".

"The Iranian Revolutionary Guards fired ballistic missiles at civilian areas in Arbil, killing four civilians and injuring six others," the Kurdistan Security Council said.

For its part, US diplomacy "strongly condemned" the attack launched by Iran in Iraqi Kurdistan, stressing in a press release that it "opposes" the "irresponsible missile strikes" it carried out, as they "undermine the stability of Iraq".
