Explosions Reported in Erbil as US-Iran War Expands Into Iraqi Kurdistan

💥 ERBIL — Iran hitting Kurdistan now means US special ops and CIA are in the blast radius. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Erbil hosts US SOF and intelligence assets largely outside the formal CENTCOM base structure. Strikes here target a node Washington has kept deliberately low-profile. Kurdish Regional Government forces aren't Iraqi PMF — Baghdad loses control of the narrative. If US personnel are hit, the casualty threshold that changes congressional and public tolerance gets crossed.
