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.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
