No coincidence that this attack came a day after #Iran falsely claimed retaliation against #Israel's Natanz attack in "northern #Iraq." Iran is choosing the easiest target to hit, in order to sell it as a retaliation against Israel to its own population and proxies.

Iran's demonstrated hesitance to retaliate against true Israeli targets despite its bold attacks against the US military in the past several years alone show how deterrent the Israeli threat is for #Iran.
Persian language sources (not English) had claimed yesterday that a Mossad facility in Iraqi #Kurdistan was struck in retaliation for the Natanz attack. KRG Spokesperson @KRGSpokesperson refuted these claims. Several Israeli and Iraqi sources gave the claim some limited coverage.
In #Iran's case, the majority of Persian-only news are designed as lip service to the Iranian society but some of them fall through the cracks like this one. Iraqi Kurdistan's rejection of the claim and lack of evidence forced Iran to actualize an attack in northern #Iraq.
