False claims made by Iran that Erbil attacks were for the Mossad base

Baghdad – Iraqi National Security Adviser Qasim Al-Araji dismissed as “false” Tuesday Iran’s claim that it hit an Israeli intelligence base in an overnight missile strike in Iraq’s Kurdish regional capital Erbil.

“Concerning the alleged presence of a headquarters of Israel’s Mossad, we visited the house, we inspected every corner of it and everything indicated that it was the family home of an Iraqi businessman,” Al-Araji told Kurdish television station K24 after touring the building that was hit.

“These allegations are false and incorrect,” added Al-Araji, who has been tasked by the Baghdad government with investigating the Iranian strikes.
