On Friday, June 13, Iraq submitted a formal protest to the United Nations Security Council regarding Israel’s “violation of Iraqi airspace” during a significant assault on Iran, according to Baghdad’s foreign ministry.
“These actions represent a clear breach of Iraq’s sovereignty,” the ministry declared, urging “the Security Council to fulfill its duties” and take steps to “prevent the recurrence of such violations.”
Early on Friday, June 13, three missiles were discovered in Iraqi desert regions, one still unexploded in the central Diyala province and two others in the southern province of Dhi Qar, as reported by two security sources.
The sources noted that the missiles in Dhi Qar created a four-metre (13-feet) deep crater in the ground.
The Iraqi government has condemned the “military aggression” carried out by Israel against Iran, labeling it as “a blatant violation of the fundamental principles of international law.”
Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani, the foremost religious figure for millions of Shiite Muslims in Iraq and globally, also denounced “the crime committed by the entity occupying Palestine.”
He urged “the international community to pressure this aggressor and its allies to prevent the repetition of such attacks.”
A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.
