Iran admits to firing missiles near the US consulate in Iraq, according to a report.

 According to a source, Iran claimed responsibility for firing ballistic missiles towards the US consulate in Erbil, Iraq, claiming the assault was in retribution for an Israeli strike in Syria that killed two Iranian Revolutionary Guard soldiers.

The incident caused no injuries, and the vacant facility was not damaged, according to the State Department.

According to the Associated Press, the Revolutionary Guard stated it attacked an Israeli "strategic center of conspiracy" in Erbil, and a later statement acknowledged targeting Israel and referenced a recent attack on two members of the militant organization.

"Any more Israeli assaults will be greeted with a strong, decisive, and catastrophic reaction," the statement continued.

Initially, an Iraqi official claimed that three missiles were fired at the US consulate in Erbil, Iraq's Kurdistan region's city.

Later, Kurdistan's foreign media office said that none of the rockets hit the facility, but that they did land near it.

It was a "outrageous attack on Iraqi sovereignty and exhibition of violence," according to a State Department spokesman.

Kurdistan24, a satellite television station near the consulate, broadcast video of shattered glass and debris on the studio floor.

Iran has accused Israel of carrying out an attack in Damascus, Syria, last week that killed two Revolutionary Guard men and has threatened retaliation.
