The Iraqi government on Monday submitted an official letter of protest to the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the UN Security Council, condemning the "flagrant" violation committed by Israel by breaching Iraqi airspace and sovereignty, and using Iraqi airspace to carry out an attack on Iran on Oct. 26.

Iraq's Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al Sudani has also directed the foreign ministry to communicate with the United States regarding this violation.

In the statement, the Iraqi government reaffirmed its full commitment to Iraq's sovereignty and independence, emphasizing that it is taking all necessary steps to address these violations.

It also stressed that it will not allow the use of Iraqi airspace or lands to attack other countries, especially neighboring ones that have common interests with Iraq.
