US officials now identify the target of Thursday’s raid in the N. Iraqi town of Irbil as the Iranian Liaison Office, local HQ of Iranian Revolutionary Guards

January 12, 2007, 7:23 PM (GMT+02:00)

Kurdish officials report the American raiders came in helicopters before dawn Thursday, Jan. 11. They disarmed the security guards, broke through the gate and detained six men. One was later released. Iraqi foreign minister Hoshyar Zebari reported a second, unexplained incident at Irbil airport, claiming US forces tried to detain people until Kurdish troops intervened.

Later Thursday, Tehran reported three large explosions shaking the southern town of Khorramshahr north of the oil port of Abadan on the Shatt al-Arb waterway.

DEBKAfile: Khorramshahr, which faces the Iraqi town of Basra, is one of the key towns from which Iran delivers smuggled fighters, weapons and explosives to its Shiite supporters in Iraq. Our sources also report that some hours before President George W. Bush’s policy speech, a series of explosions were heard in Iranian Balochistan. Tehran imposed a blackout on the incident.

These statements and events tie in closely with the new Iraq strategy announced by the US president of confronting Iran and Syria for “allowing networks to use their territory to attack US forces.”
