Drone Attack Hits Erbil as Iranian-Backed Groups Strike During Pause

💥 ERBIL — A second named city hit while the pause pledge technically holds. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Erbil hosts US forces and the American consulate — a direct hit raises the same binary CENTCOM faced hours ago, now doubled. Two attacks in two locations during the same pause window shifts this from proxy initiative to pattern. Tehran's ability to claim non-authorization collapses with repetition. Thursday's address now opens against a two-strike backdrop.
