AIPAC Update
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) fired at least a dozen missiles toward a U.S. Consulate compound outside the Iraqi Kurdish city of Erbil in an unprovoked attack and breach of Iraqi sovereignty this past weekend.
-
The IRGC issued a statement claiming responsibility for the ballistic missile attack, claiming to have targeted "the strategic center of the Zionist conspiracies in Erbil."Context: As nuclear talks in Vienna remain stalled, Iran and its proxies have increased their attacks against Americans and our allies in the region.
-
Iranian-backed Houthi rebels have repeatedly attacked the United Arab Emirates with drones and ballistic missiles. American forces have responded with Patriot missiles to protect our friends and our deployed troops in the Gulf.
-
This past January, U.S. troops in Iraq and Syria faced three straight days of Iranian-backed rocket attacks.Big picture: Restrictions on Iran’s ballistic missile program are set to expire next year, based on the Security Council resolution endorsing the JCPOA. The P5+1 must not reward Iran’s destabilizing actions at the negotiating table.
