* The missiles were fired by Iran and struck a suspected Israeli 'spy HQ', Iran said
Iran fired missiles late on Monday at what it claimed were Israeli 'spy headquarters' near the US consulate in the northern Iraqi city of Erbil, and at targets linked to the extremist group Islamic State in northern Syria.
Four civilians were killed and six injured after missiles hit an upscale area near the U.S. consulate in Erbil, the seat of Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdish region, according to the security council of the Kurdish regional government.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards said in a statement that it had hit a headquarters of Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency, in the Kurdish region of Iraq.
