The raid comes amid high Iran-US tension. The US accuses Iran of helping to fuel violence in Iraq and seeking nuclear arms. Iran denies both charges.
Tehran counters that US military involvement in the Middle East endangers the whole region.
A local TV station said Kurdish security forces had taken over the building after the Americans had left.
Irbil lies in Iraq's Kurdish-controlled north, about 350km (220 miles) from the capital Baghdad. Reports say the Iranian consulate there was set up last year under an agreement with the Kurdish regional government to facilitate cross-border visits.
Pressure
Iranian media said the country's embassy in Baghdad had sent a letter of protest about the raid to the Iraqi foreign ministry.

Wasn't it Iran & Cuba who vindicated Canada for global warming? Granted, we are a minor player but we side with the USA on occasion. Afghanistan is not a minor role and eases the burdon on the US, allowing them elbow room to devastate other countries.

But if we didn't "step up to the plate" here, I am sure the other "Brothers in Arms" could quite nicely cover the ensuing vacuum.

I didn't know that. I can assume the Americans are our biggest customer but who else? Who are the top four manufactures (following the USA)? It's sickening but interesting in a morbid sence.
