A statement from government spokesperson Bassim Alawadi said the letter condemns โthe Zionist entityโs blatant violation of Iraqโs airspace and sovereignty by using Iraqi airspace to carry out an attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran on October 26โ.
Alawadi added the Iraqi foreign ministry would raise โthis violationโ in talks with the US, Israelโs biggest arms supplier and most powerful diplomatic ally.
On Saturday, the Iranian Air Defense Forces said in a statement that the countryโs integrated air defense system successfully intercepted and countered the Israeli strikes targeting military locations in Tehran, Khuzestan, and Ilam provinces.
The attacks caused limited damage in some locations and the dimensions of the incident are under investigation, the statement added.
The Iranian Army also announced that four of its servicemen had been martyred in the raids.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry has also condemned the Israeli assault as a blatant violation of international law and the UN Charter, reiterating the countryโs right to defend itself against foreign acts of aggression.
