US State Department deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel on Thursday confirmed that a US citizen was killed in the Iranian attack that targeted sites in Iraq’s Kurdistan region on Wednesday.
Patel added he could not make any further comment on the case due to privacy considerations.
Since Saturday, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) ground forces have launched a series of aerial raids on the positions of Iraqi Kurdistan-based terrorist groups.
In a statement on Thursday, the IRGC Ground Force announced that that the operations against terror bases will continue until all anti-Iran separatist and terrorist outfits holed up in the rugged mountainous area lay down their arms and surrender.
