Explosions Near US Consulate in Erbil After Iranian Drone Attacks in Northern Iraq
Several explosions occurred in Erbil, northern Iraq, early Tuesday, including near the US Consulate, following attacks by at least four Iranian drones targeting areas in Khalifan and Soran. The strikes caused large fires and drone crashes, with reports of an American drone destroyed near Haditha Dam in Al Anbar province.

The attacks coincided with broader military activity and ongoing US-Iran diplomatic efforts focused on a nuclear deal and Strait of Hormuz security.
