IRGC fires 5 missiles at US Al-Harir Air Base in Kurdistan — direct strike on US forces

·Erbil, Kurdistan Region, Iraq

Iran's Revolutionary Guards claim to have struck Al-Harir Air Base in Iraq's Kurdistan region with 5 ballistic missiles. Al-Harir hosts US special operations forces and intelligence personnel. The most direct Iranian strike on US forces since the war began.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps announced on its Telegram channel that it had struck 'the headquarters of the invading US army in Al-Harir Air Base in the Kurdistan region with five missiles.' Al-Harir Air Base, located near Erbil in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, is a key facility for US special operations forces, intelligence personnel, and counter-terrorism operations. It is one of the primary US military installations remaining in Iraq. The attack represents a significant escalation — the most direct and explicitly claimed Iranian strike on US forces since the start of the war on February 28. Previous Iranian-affiliated attacks on US forces had been conducted via proxy groups (PMF, Houthis) with deniability. This direct IRGC claim removes that ambiguity. Initial reports of casualties and damage were unclear. The Kurdistan Regional Government, which hosts the base, had not commented. US CENTCOM confirmed the attack and said it was assessing damage.
