“As the Ministry of Defense, we haven’t observed any IAF warplanes practicing in Iraqi airspace,” said Major-General Mohammad al-Askari, spokesman for the Iraqi Defense Ministry.
On Friday, sources in the Iraqi Defense Ministry told a local news network that Israel Air Force (IAF) war planes are practicing in Iraqi airspace and land on US airbases in the country as a preparation for a potential strike on Iran.
The IDF denied the reports, calling them “baseless.”
The report, which was also carried by Iranian news outlets, claimed that recently massive IAF overnight presence was detected in several American held airbases.
