The U.S. has allowed Israeli jets to use US airbases and fly over
Iraqi air space for a likely attack against Iran, Iraqi media say. It
is more than a month that some Israeli planes belonging to Israeli
air force use the U.S. military bases in Iraq to land and take off,
Iraqi Nahrainnet news network said Wednesday, quoting informed sources
close to Iraq's Defense Ministry
The activities and traffic of warplanes- especially at nights-
has lately increased in the US airbases in Nasiriya southeast of
Baghdad and Haditha a city in the western Iraq province of Al Anbar,
the Iraqi residents and sources said.
They said the U.S. fighters, cargo planes, helicopters and unmanned
planes have intensified their flights in the last three weeks.
The US military officials have imposed severe security measures around
the bases, they said.
They said some aircraft suspected to be Israeli warplanes coming
from Jordan, have landed in the U.S. controlled al-Assad airbase
near Haditha.
It is believed that these activities are parts of a joint Israeli-US
training, preparation and coordination to launch an air raid against
Iran's nuclear plants.
Israel has conducted a military drill under the supervision of
top US military commanders over the Mediterranean Sea from May 28
to June 12, using more than 100 Israeli F-16 and F-15 fighters,
along with helicopters and refueling tanks which many consider as
a possible rehearsal for a strike on Iran's nuclear facilities,
presstv.ir reports.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday that he sees
no possibility of a war between his country and the United States
or Israel.
"I assure you that there won't be any war in the future," Ahmadinejad
told a news conference during a visit to Malaysia.
