U.S. to leave Iraqi airspace clear for strategic Israeli route to Iran

U.S. to leave Iraqi airspace clear for strategic Israeli route to Iran | MN News Hound | Scoop.it

The U.S. military’s fast-approaching Dec. 31 exit from Iraq, which has no way to defend its airspace, puts Israel in a better place strategically to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities.

 

Iraq has yet to assemble a force of jet fighters, and since the shortest route for Israeli strike fighters to Iran is through Iraqi airspace, observers conclude that the U.S. exit makes the Jewish state’s mission planning a lot easier.
