Iran just hit Erbil with ballistic missiles

IGRC launched multiple ballistic missiles over the border into Erbil. Unsure what the real target was but one impacted near a US consulate building. IGRC said it attacked Israeli strategic centers, which doesn’t sound credible.

Iran backed Houthis hit a US owned cargo ship today as well.

At what point do we establish a credible deterrence? It’s time to pressure the IGRC more directly.
