The U.S. shot down a couple of explosive-laden Iranian drones that targeted American forces at Iraq’s Erbil International Airport.
The U.S. counter-rocket, artillery and mortar system struck down the two Iranian-made drones late Saturday, a U.S. official told Fox News .
There are no confirmed injuries or material damages, according to a spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq. Each attack against the GoI, KRI and the Coalition undermines the authority of Iraqi institutions, the rule of law and Iraqi National sovereignty. These attacks endanger the lives of civilians, & the partner forces from the ISF, Peshmerga & Coalition. — OIR Spokesman Col. Wayne Marotto (@OIRSpox) September 12, 2021 Witnesses said they had heard at least six explosions during the time of the attack.
The airport, also a base for U.S.-led coalition forces, has endured a series of Iranian attacks over the course of the last year.
Saturday’s attack is the first drone or rocket strike on the U.S. presence in Iraq in more than two months. On July 8, rockets landed in and around the Green Zone in Baghdad, which houses the U.S. Embassy, causing material damage but no casualties.
The U.S. has blamed Iranian-backed Shi’ite Muslim militias for the attacks that, as of late, have utilized more advanced weaponry, with drones replacing Katyusha rockets.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
