US Grants Israel Approval for Strikes on Iran-Linked Militias in Iraq
Editorial illustration generated by baba News — not a photograph of the event.

The United States has reportedly granted Israel permission to expand its operational freedom in airspace near Iraq, enabling strikes against armed groups and militias identified with Iran. This information comes from a report by "Iran News," which cites Western sources.

According to the report, the U.S. administration is aware of plans aimed at curbing the entrenchment of pro-Iranian forces in the region. The sources suggest that both the U.S. and Israel believe Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps is increasing its use of this route to transfer long-range unmanned aerial vehicles, precision ballistic missiles, advanced military equipment, and logistical and financial aid. The goal is to restore the capabilities of Iran's militias and allies.

Consequently, one of the objectives of the Israeli plans is to disrupt these supply routes, thereby preventing Iraq from becoming a rear base for arms transfers.
