After Erbil Attack, Will The U.S. Supply Iraq With Missile Defense Systems?
Paul Iddon
Early Mar. 13, Iran fired 12 long-range ballistic missiles into the autonomous Iraqi Kurdish capital Erbil. The missiles crashed in a residential area, causing some notable property damage, including to the headquarters of the local Kurdistan 24 news agency, but no casualties. Iran dubiously claimed the target was an Israeli base without disclosing any credible evidence.
Shortly after the attack, U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said that Washington is working on getting Iraq the means it needs to defend itself against such threats.
"We are in consultation with the Iraqi government and the government in Iraqi Kurdistan, in part to help them get the missile defense capabilities to be able to defend themselves in their cities," he said.
