The U.S. administration has reportedly granted Israel a 'green light' and removed operational restrictions on Israeli Air Force activity in Iraqi airspace, according to a report by journalist Amichai Stein.
The reported move, if confirmed, would mark a significant expansion of the operational latitude granted to the Israeli Air Force, potentially enabling strikes deep into Iranian territory via Iraqi airspace. The report by Amichai Stein, a well-sourced Israeli journalist, has not been officially confirmed by the Pentagon, the U.S. State Department, or the Israeli defense establishment. Previous reports in June, as covered by The Zioneer, indicated a broader U.S. 'green light' for strategic strikes on Iran, though those reports did not specify the lifting of restrictions on Iraqi airspace. The development comes amid heightened regional tensions following Iran's direct attack on Israel and ongoing discussions about a potential Israeli response.
