Defending Israel, but not Kurdistan?

Michael DiMino, a fellow at Defense Priorities and a former CIA military analyst, said it was difficult to compare the Iranian missile salvos from January and April. “For one, you’re talking about different trajectories and response times for a ballistic missile attack from Iran into Israel, compared to one from Iran into northern Iraq. There are other factors to consider too, such as the lead-up to both. In my view, there was much more telegraphing and diplomatic back-channeling prior to Iran’s attack on Israel in April than before its attack on Erbil in January.”
