A Reuters report claiming a small number of Iranian missiles have been sent to Iraq was denied by both Iranian and Iraqi officials as false, but that may not stop Israeli officials from carrying out attacks over that claim.
Israeli officials are signaling that they are prepared to attack Iraq over the alleged sites, with Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman saying Israel is “not limiting ourselves just to Syrian territory” with its attacks.
Lieberman didn’t say Israel would definitely attack Iraq, but did say he would “Israel’s freedom is total” in acting against any perceived threat. Iraq has offered no statement on the new comments, but has already insisted they are not hosting any Iranian missiles.
Israel last attacked Iraq in 1981, destroying a nuclear reactor near Baghdad. Israel has been attacking sites inside Syria regularly over the past several years, again generally on claims of an Iranian presence.
Israel (and US) thrive by permanent wars in ME and creating chaos. It does not solve anything, only make things worse. Someone had to step in to stop them.
Well if Israel attacks a sovereign nation, wouldn’t that be naked aggression?
Not if Israel does it. LOL
When the chosen choose to do naked aggression they are doing so because the one that choose them to be chosen said they could.
Israel is in a panic over the failure of their plan to have Syria taken out by the US a la Libya so now they’re threatening anyone and everyone. It’s all bluster. They can’t attack Lebanon due to Hizballah being able to rain 1,600 missiles a day down on them, they can’t attack Syria due to Russia, and they can’t really do anything significant against Iraq or Iran. So they bluster and threaten. They’re stuck until they can get stupid Trump to do something for them.
Now Iraq will begin to understand that they cannot leave their “air defense” to the US.
Turkey sees displayed its real reasons for buying Russian air defense missiles instead of American.
