Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani said that his government has no data or indications that missiles or drones were launched from the territory of Iraq during Iran's attack on Israel, reported Reuters, quoted by BTA.
"Our position is clear. We will not allow Iraq to be turned into an arena of conflict," Sudani said.
Iraq is a rare case of a country that is an ally of both Washington and Tehran, Reuters notes. Iraqi airspace was the main route through which Iran's unprecedented drone and ballistic missile attack on Israel took place, and Iraqi officials said Iran gave advance notice to Iraq and other countries in the region before the attack.
On Saturday, Iran fired more than 300 drones and missiles at Israel, the Islamic Republic's first direct attack on the Jewish state. It was carried out in response to a suspected Israeli airstrike on the Iranian embassy compound in Damascus on April 1, which killed officers from Tehran's elite military units.
