Bagdad. The Iraqi authorities announced this Monday that they presented a formal protest to the UN Secretary General and the Security Council against a “flagrant violation” perpetrated by Israel, whose planes, according to Baghdad, entered Iraqi airspace on Saturday to attack Iran .
In the protest letter, Iraq “condemns the flagrant violation perpetrated by the Zionist entity, whose aircraft violated Iraqi airspace and sovereignty, using Iraqi airspace to carry out an attack against the Islamic Republic of Iran on October 26 “government spokesman Bassim Alawadi said in a statement.
Israel carried out “precision strikes” on missile manufacturing and launching facilities in Iran on Saturday, in response to Iran’s Oct. 1 missile attack.
The bombings occurred in a context of high tension in the region. Israel wages war against the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas in the Gaza Strip and the Islamist group Hezbollah in Lebanon, both groups backed by Iran.
The Israeli offensive on October 25 deteriorated Iran’s ability to produce long-range missiles and left crucial energy facilities vulnerable to future airstrikes by destroying the air defense batteries that protected them. Via Graphic News
