Baghdad - Saba:
The Iraqi government submitted a memorandum of protest today, Monday, to the Secretary-General of the United Nations and to the UN Security Council, which included condemnation of the blatant violation committed by the Zionist entity by violating its aggressor aircraft of Iraq's airspace.
Government spokesman Bassem al-Awadi said in a statement that Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani "directed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to communicate with the American side regarding this violation, in accordance with the terms of the bilateral strategic framework agreement, and the United States' commitment to the security and sovereignty of Iraq."
"The Iraqi government affirms its firm commitment to Iraq's sovereignty, independence, and the sanctity of its lands, and that it is working at various levels to confront these violations, and stresses not allowing the use of Iraqi airspace or lands to attack other countries, especially neighboring countries that have relations of respect and common interests with Iraq," he added.
Al-Awadi pointed out that "this position reflects Iraq's keenness to follow a policy of preserving the stability of the region, by preventing any exploitation of its lands in regional conflicts, and supporting the resolution of disputes through dialogue and mutual understanding."
