Iraq says 50 Israeli warplanes planes violated its airspace
Iraq's representative to the United Nations said 50 Israeli warplanes planes violated Iraqi airspace shortly before a UN meeting on the Israel-Iran conflict on Friday. Abbas Kadhom Obaid Al-Fatlawi, charge d'affaires of Iraq's UN mission, told the UN Security Council the aircraft came from the Syrian-Jordanian border areas. 'Twenty airplanes started, followed by 30 airplanes heading to the south of Iraq, and they flew over Basra, Najaf and Karbala cities,' he said. 'These violations are violations of international law and the UN Charter,' he said, adding: 'They also constitute a threat to the sacred sites and regions which might cause strong popular reactions, considering the importance of these holy sites for our peoples.'

Iran said it would continue to defend itself against Israel during a UN Security Council session on Friday, while Israel's UN ambassador vowed that his country would not stop its attacks until Iran's nuclear threat is dismantled. 'We will not stop,' Israeli UN Ambassador Danny Danon said. 'Not until Iran's nuclear threat is dismantled, not until its war machine is disarmed, not until our people and yours are safe.' Iran's UN Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani urged the Security Council to take action. 'Israel apparently declared that it will continue this strike for as many days as it takes. We are alarmed by credible report that the United States... may be joining this war,' he said.
