US forces have stormed an Iranian consulate in the northern Iraqi town of Irbil and seized six members of staff.
The troops raided the building at about 0300 (0001GMT), taking away computers and papers

They also arrested a number of people at the consulate.
Now I`m not really too informed on international law but aren`t embassies/consulates considered the very ground of their originating homeland?
In essence if you invade an Iranian consulate you`ve invaded Iran?
If this BBC report proves true you`ve got to wonder about the depths of stupidity our president can dive to.
