The Islamic Republic has denied that it launched an attack.
Ballistic missiles appeared to have been launched towards the Kurdistan region in northern Iraq over the weekend, according to local social media reports.
The reports linked the missiles to Iran, but the Islamic Republic has denied that it launched an attack.
The reports come days after a drone attack on an important gas and energy installation caused power outages in the region.

Reports of ballistic missiles come despite Iran-Iraq ties
Last month, it was reported that the IDF and Mossad are preparing for possible increasing threats against Israel from Iranian-backed militias in Iraq, Walla cited sources from the military's Northern Command as saying. The report also said that IRGC Commander Esmail Qaani had visited Iraq and met with senior militia leaders.
In January of this year, Iraqi President Abdul Latif Rashid highlighted ties to Iranian state media, saying that "Iran is an important and large neighbor to Iraq…Iran cannot be ignored by Iraq, and Iraq cannot be ignored by Iran.”
Amir Bohbot contributed to this report. This is a developing story.
