“The Iraqi government affirms its firm commitment to Iraq’s sovereignty, independence, and sanctity of its lands, and is working at various levels to confront these aggressions,” government spokesman Basem Al Awadi said. He stressed that “it will not allow the use of Iraqi airspace or lands to attack other countries, especially neighbouring ones that have respect and common interests with Iraq”. Mr Awadi said the letter filed to the UN Security Council “included condemnation of the flagrant violation committed by the Zionist entity by its aggressor aircraft violating Iraqi airspace and sovereignty”.
