Heightened tensions in the Middle East again.

Walking out on the job and a Kamalablady Gook update next on the AM update.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a branch of the Iranian armed forces, launched ballistic

missiles at what it described as the headquarters of spies in Erbil, northern Iraq on Monday night.

Ten missiles fell near the U.S. consulate, that's according to Iraqi sources.

In response to the recent evil

acts of the Zionist regime in martyring IRGC and resistance commanders, the Islamic

Revolutionary Guard Corps with its nobility and intelligence, targeted and destroyed one of

the main headquarters of Israel's spying agency Mossad in Iraq's Kurdistan region by firing ballistic missiles. That's a statement from

the group reported by Iran's state news agency. No U.S. facilities were impacted. And Iraqi security

Iraqi businessman and his family were among those killed by one of the missiles.

Whatever this is, it's an escalation on the part of Iran and something to keep an eye on.
