Iraq has taken a firm stand by submitting a protest to the UN Secretary-General and the Security Council on Monday. The Iraqi government condemned Israel for what it described as a blatant violation of Iraq's airspace and sovereignty. This action came after Israel reportedly launched an attack on Iran using Iraq's airspace last Saturday, according to Iraqi government spokesman Basim al-Awadi.
Why would Israel use Iraq's airspace to attack Iran? The tensions in the region are high, and this move has raised serious concerns about sovereignty and regional stability. Iraq's swift action in lodging the protest underscores the gravity of the situation and the need for international attention and resolution.
