Israel has built two covert military sites in Iraq’s western desert to support operations against Iran, according to a report by the New York Times. The newspaper, citing Iraqi and regional officials, said a newly disclosed site has been one of two covert facilities used intermittently by Israel inside Iraq for more than a year. The officials said the sites have been used for air support, refuelling and medical services and later played a role during the 12-day war against Iran in June 2025.
