  4. Newyork times reporter: New A senior US official briefed on the Erbil attack told my colleague

    -EricSchmittNYT

    the building struck by IRGC ballistic missiles also served as an Israeli training facility. The US consulate was not targeted but the IRGC doesn’t mind that it was nearby, the official said. (Despite later denial by Biden's administration official)

  5. You mess withe the best, you die like rest. Israel getting to big for there head

  6. Wow, checked out the shock wave, things falling down from the ceiling in that building, prolly one mile away. These were some pinpoint bunker busters. They knew there was something beneath thick solid concrete.

  7. 0:50 Just beneath the lights in the mid-right of screen, looks like either debris or possibly even bullets were hitting the wall?
    Whatever it is, it's inconsistent with the repeated shockwave timing?
    If this footage IS actually the US Embassy, the reports I've read are lying.
    Reporting cites a "second US Official " who says that "no US Government facilities sustained any damage."
    They also said the "new consulate building" was unoccupied…?
    In both cases, it certainly doesn't look like it from this footage, albeit the damage is minor?
    That is IF this is indeed the US Embassy building/complex, which, going by the security & lighting alone, it probably is?

  8. Did they strike the U.S. Consulate or Iraq?

  9. When will people stop being so ignorant and deceived. Despite all of Iran's "justifications" for why they did fire these missiles, their rationale doesn't dismiss the point that they are still wrong for doing it.

    We have the blind leading the blind.

  10. Weldon Iran America is a root of Russia and Ukraine war

  11. China,Russia and Iran are the new world order of today

  12. The United States and Israel can not do anything because of oil issues, because the price of oil is in the hands of the oil products of countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran. And Syria to Israel. Will strike (missile and cyber attack, etc.)

  13. And President Joe Biden is begging Iran for oil we can produce HERE IN AMERICA…

  14. Iran just can't stop winning

  15. Putin's playing chess, Bidens playing checkers.

  16. Did you guys just see how things were falling inside the building?

  17. "So Iran is in the middle east. It's next to a country called Iraq. Iran is a bigger country that attacked a smaller country… So that's like Bad."

  18. From Iran with Love for Israel 😜❤️❤️❤️

  19. Great Job iran ❤️❤️❤️

  26. Weak Biden=Weak America under Trump Iran would not dare…So it is the case with Russia/Ukraine, China/Taiwan , Immigration abuse, Insecure Border, Gas prices,inflation…

  27. Please show the 9 bodies of the mossad pigs that Iran killed. Stop lying

  28. So… is that a no on the oil deal then?

  29. You could tell us what they hit instead of telling us what was next to it

  30. Why NBC News dont say that iran attacks on mossad base and just say American consulate?

  31. ✨long live PERSIA✨

  32. It is truly interesting to see how these same people who say that there are no funds to feed and house the homeless yet are spending all these trillions of dollars on warfare?

  33. If this happen two years ago everyone will go nuts, nowadays no one cares

  34. If no US retaliatory strikes are conducted then the people in Ukraine can't expect much from Uncle Sam..

  35. There’s nothing in this world scarier than what’s happening in our own White House

  36. Bombing Iraq for Israel? Reminds me of those Lebanese Ayatullahs when they said “The road toward Jerusalem passes Aleppo”. That don’t make any sense. It’s sounds like India bombing Pakistanis in retaliate against China’s interventions in Taiwan.

  37. Baiden :faaaaarrrt💨💨💨💨

  38. Just keep bending over Biden. The whole world terrorists are fu-cking the U.S. right now.

  39. The attack was on Israel base not US consulate. The Israel base was built to sabotage and manage terrorist groups inside Iran. The reason the Israel base was built next to the American consulate was that they believed I Iranian would not attack them! Israel attacked Iranian bases in Syria many times and I guess Iranians wanted to respond this way.

  40. As usual the Iranian misiles miss there target and hit an empty car lot. I don’t think they know how to aim there missiles.
    They did the same thing when the hit the US base in Iraq a few years ago. They ended up hitting an shed at the base.

    There missiles are laughable!
