Missiles and Manifests
Iran put missiles into 4 neighbors, Erbil among the targets. Baghdad's reply: exports up 70% on routes Iran cannot touch, and paperwork that did not pause.
Thursday, September 3. After a month with no military action, the war took 48 hours to revert to what wars do, and this time it reached Iraqi soil. The United States struck Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran's answer arrived by ballistic missile in 4 countries: Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Iraq's Kurdish region. The Revolutionary Guard put its name on the Erbil strike itself, calling it reprisal for the American attack the night before.
Iranian missiles were landing near Erbil in the same window that Iraq's export ledger printed August shipments up 70% on the month. Iraq's parliament moved the borrowing law to the cabinet. The Coordination Framework put the vote that completes the government inside next week. A state that keeps filing paperwork while missiles cross its airspace is telling you which of the two events it considers temporary.
That is the shape of the day. Iran throwing what it still has. Iraq building what comes next. We will take them in order.
