[QUOTE=The New York Times]DOHUK, Iraq — American military forces bombed at least two targets in northern Iraq on Thursday night to rout Islamist insurgents who have trapped tens of thousands of religious minorities in Kurdish areas, Kurdish officials said.Word of the bombings, reported on Kurdish television from the city of Erbil, came as President Obama was preparing to make a statement in Washington.
Kurdish officials said the bombings targeted fighters from the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria who had seized two towns, Gwer and Mahmour. Residents who had fled those areas by car were heard honking their horns in approval. But Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary, said on Twitter that the reports of the bombings were false.[/QUOTE]

We haven't, but the Iraqi AF might have. They've already been conducting air strikes in Mosul and what not.

Sorry, I meant most recent activity from the Iraqi AF. Which indicates that they're still alive and kicking. Even up to this point.
The UNSC just said that there have been no US air operations.

That's what I meant, the Iraqi AF is posting videos of a lot of their strikes.
Doesn't matter who bombed them.
There isn't anyone worse than the ISIS, so even if North Korea started bombing them tomorrow its still sort of a win/win.
