A U.S. citizen was killed in an Iranian missile and drone attack in northern Iraq on Wednesday, a State Department spokesperson said.
“We can confirm that a U.S. citizen was killed as a result of a rocket attack in the Iraqi Kurdistan region yesterday,” spokesperson Vedant Patel told reporters Thursday.
Patel said the administration was not releasing the name of the American out of privacy concerns, and he did not say how the U.S. would respond.
“I want to reiterate that we condemn Iran’s violations of Iraq’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” he added.
