US Consulate Air Defenses Activated as Drones Target Erbil

💥 ERBIL — Drones targeting the consulate means Iraq is now a kinetic theater too. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Erbil hosts the US consulate and Coalition forces in Kurdistan. Air defense activation confirms a real inbound threat — not precautionary. Iraq's federal government has avoided condemning Iran's strikes; a drone hit here forces Baghdad to choose: condemn Tehran or absorb co-belligerence accusations. Kurdistan's pro-Western posture is now directly exposed.
