Erbil turned to rubble? Iran boasts it crippled America’s key Middle East war hub in just two weeks

Iran has claimed it suspended attacks on U.S. bases after American strikes reportedly stopped for two consecutive nights. Iranian Army spokesman Amir Akraminia said Tehran's campaign was purely retaliatory and warned operations would resume if the U.S. re-entered the conflict. Separately, Iranian military officials claimed major damage to U.S. bases across the region, including extensive destruction in Erbil and losses of American aircraft. The statements come amid reports that backchannel efforts to halt the conflict have resumed.
