Iran's Mehr News Agency announces that the first phase of the IRGC's retaliatory attacks against the U.S. has been carried out using missiles and drones.

While they did not state the target of these missiles and drones, it seems to have been U.S. bases in and around Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan.

Initial and unconfirmed reports of 3 explosions in the city of Abyek, west of Tehran.
