Iraq condemns Israel's passage of the country's airspace during the weekend's attack on Iran, in an open protest sent to both the UN General Assembly and the Secretary-General.
The Iraqi government condemns "the Zionist entity's flagrant violation of Iraq's airspace and sovereignty", announces government spokesperson Bassim Alawadi.
According to him, the country will also take up this matter with Israel's close ally, the USA.
On Saturday, Israel launched several air attacks on Iran, said to be a revenge for Iranian attacks on Israel a few weeks ago. The attacks were feared to escalate already high tensions in the region, but were later assessed to have been relatively limited in scope.
