Original Note:
Contrary to Iran's claims, this is not a Mossad or Israeli installation. It is the Erbil home of Kurdish businessman Peshraw Dizayee. The IRGC attack killed Dizayee and several of his family members. Six others were injured. All were civilians. https://www.forbes.com/sites/pauliddon/2024/01/15/iranian-ballistic-missile-strike-kills-prominent-businessman-in-iraqi-kurdistan/?sh=257a24af3214 https://www.kurdistan24.net/en/story/33750-Iraq-condemns-Iranian-aggression-following-deadly-missile-attacks-on-Erbil https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/irans-revolutionary-guards-say-they-have-attacked-espionage-centers-iraqs-erbil-2024-01-15/
