Fighter jets active over Diyala Governorate, northeast Iraq

Fighter jet activity has been reported over Diyala Governorate in northeastern Iraq, a province bordering Iran, according to a security monitoring source. The type and affiliation of the aircraft—US, Israeli, or otherwise—have not been specified.

A security monitoring source reported fighter jet activity over Diyala Governorate in northeastern Iraq, located along the border with Iran. The report, timestamped 21:12 UTC, did not specify the number, type, or affiliation of the aircraft. The activity comes amid a broader pattern of heightened aerial operations over Iraqi airspace in recent days. As The Zioneer reported earlier today (21:10 UTC), fighter jets were also reported over Iraq in an unverified report accompanied by a celebratory message from an Iranian channel. Prior reports over the past several days have described US and Israeli fighter jet activity over various Iraqi cities and provinces, as well as over Erbil and Tabriz in northwestern Iran. The source of the current activity and its purpose remain unconfirmed.
