These officials floated the notion that Iran could have directed their missiles to hit areas that are populated by Americans — but specifically did not. Missiles also hit close to the US consulate in Erbil, but didn’t go for the consulate itself, though the expectation is that they could have. Officials have said there were no US casualties as a result of the attacks.
“We could have done it and we didn’t do it,” is the message Iranians appeared to be sending, a State Department official said.This interpretation will be presented to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo during a briefing today, and Pompeo is expected to brief the President at some point later in the day.
