MotiveIn retaliation to Israeli sabotage operations in Iran[3]

The 2022 Erbil missile attacks occurred on 13 March 2022 when multiple ballistic missiles were launched by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from East Azerbaijan province, Iran, against the city of Erbil in Kurdistan Region, Iraq.[4][5]

12 Fateh-110 ballistic missiles were reportedly launched from Iran.[6] The IRGC said that the target was Israel's "strategic center" in Erbil. Kurdish authorities reported that among the places hit by the missiles were the city's American consulate and a residential neighbourhood. One civilian was confirmed injured by the attack by Kurdish officials.[1] According to one US official, the targets encompassed buildings where a Mossad cell was suspected of operating, according to a conversation with an Iraqi counterpart.[7] In reality, the missiles targeted the villa of Baz Karim Barzanji, CEO of KAR Group, a company aimed to supply Turkey and Europe with gas.[8]

The next day, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed responsibility for the attack.[9]
