Iraqi airspace is open for Israel to strike Iran
Notwithstanding the continuous story of Israeli airstrikes on Iranian-affiliated targets across Syria, another interesting claim emerged in Iraqi media last week.

Iraq emerges as a potential target for Israel as it steps up efforts to eliminate the Iranian land bridge to the Levant.

Recent Israeli airstrikes prove that air defense systems supplied to Syria by Russia are not enough to repulse Israeli aggression against Iranian targets in this country, but this may not be the end of the story. Israel may soon change the course of action to strike Iranian targets beyond Syria’s borders and launch aerial campaigns in Iraq where the airspace is defenseless and the political vacuum is too deep for the government to claim territorial sovereignty.

Notwithstanding the continuous story of Israeli airstrikes on Iranian-affiliated targets across Syria, another interesting claim emerged in Iraqi media last week that US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned the central Iraqi government of potential Israeli airstrikes against Shi’ite militia groups in that country. Iraqi news outlets alleged that Pompeo made it clear to Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi that the US government would refrain from taking action should Israeli missiles start raining on Iranian targets inside Iraq.

Prediction:

Before Donald Trump leaves office, he will agree with Israel for a joint strike against Iran...

The headline is kind of confusing to this story.  The story itself reads that targets in Iraq could likewise, be targeted.

The headline here makes it sound like Iraq is allowing Israel air space over Iraq. I don't think that is what the story itself says.
