Irans Revolutionary Guards released on Sunday a statement taking responsibility for missile attacks against Israeli "strategic centers" in Iraqs northern Kurdish regional capital of Erbil, Irans state media reported. "Any repetition of attacks by Israel will be met with a harsh, decisive and destructive response," the statement said, Reuters reported. This came after Israel killed two Iranian members of the Revolutionary Guards earlier this week in Syria. Earlier on Sunday, Kurdish officials said a dozen ballistic missiles launched from outside Iraq struck Erbil. Iraqi President Barham Salih condemned the attack in a tweet, saying the timing was “suspicious” and aims to obstruct the constitutional process of forming a "capable government." Also, US State Department spokesperson called the incident as an “outrageous attack” but said no Americans were hurt and there was no damage to US government facilities in Erbil, according to AFP.
