Statement regarding Iranian strikes near Erbil, Iraq

USCENTCOM

Statement from General Michael “Erik” Kurilla, U.S. CENTCOM commander:

“We condemn this evening’s Iranian cross-border missile and unmanned aerial vehicle strikes near Erbil, Iraq. Such indiscriminate and illegal attacks place civilians at risk, violate Iraqi sovereignty, and jeopardize the hard-fought security and stability of Iraq and the Middle East.”
