Iran has bombarded Iraq's Erbil region over 400 times during conflicts with the US and Israel—no, that’s not the WiFi password, it’s the number of strikes. WELT’s own Ibrahim Naber scored exclusive front-row seats to the wreckage party featuring Iran’s Zolfaghar ballistic missile and the Shahed drone—the Beyoncé of Iranian arms, mainstay and all. These gadgets of destruction were caught breaking stuff in northern Iraq, apparently moonlighting as demolition experts. The sheer volume of Iraqi sky-shredding demonstrates Iran’s serious dedication to making sure Erbil’s insurance premiums skyrocket. Business Insider had the scoop; we brought the sass.
