BAGHDAD, June 13 (Xinhua) -- Iraq on Friday submitted an official complaint to the United Nations Security Council, condemning Israel for violating its airspace to conduct military operations in the region, the Foreign Ministry said.
In a statement, the ministry said Israel's actions constituted a "flagrant violation" of Iraq's sovereignty and a breach of international law and the UN Charter.
Iraq called on the Security Council to "assume its legal and moral responsibilities" by taking measures to prevent Israel from repeating such actions and to uphold Iraq's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Earlier on Friday, Israel launched a "preemptive strike" on Iran. In response, Iraq's Ministry of Transport announced the closure of the country's airspace and the suspension of all air traffic at airports nationwide. Enditem
