Washington succeeds in keeping Iraq away from direct war in the region – urgent
Baghdad Today – Baghdad
The Director of the Accreditation Center for Security and Strategic Studies, Retired Major General Imad Alo, confirmed on Saturday (October 26, 2024) that the United States of America succeeded in keeping Iraq away from the direct war in the region.
“American actions and diplomatic contacts with various parties in the Middle East and with mediators across the Iranian side prompted to determine and limit the level of the Israeli response to Tehran, and also helped not to push Iraq into the war directly and to be away from direct confrontation and others,” Allo said in an interview with Baghdad Today.
He pointed out that “American moves have achieved clear successes by Iraq being far from the war and not part of it and also supporting the position of Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani in Baghdad’s non-engagement in this conflict.”
Alo added that “the Iraqi atmosphere was not far from the use of Iran in its response to Israel, as well as that atmosphere was not far from the use of Israel in its response to Iran,” stressing that “this airspace was a corridor for this response due to the weakness of Iraqi air defenses.”
The retired General concluded by saying that “all these efforts prompted the Iraqi government to strengthen and develop the capabilities of air defenses during the next phase.”
Israel launched a series of airstrikes on Iran early Saturday morning, and explosions were heard in the Iranian capital Tehran, although there were no reports of damage or injuries.
Four hours after the start of the operation, which Israel called “Days of Response,” the Israeli army announced that it had completed the attack on military targets in Iran, that all its aircraft that carried out the attack on Iran had returned to their bases in peace, and that the operation had achieved all its objectives.
Israeli military spokesman Daniel Haggari said the attack was politically directed in response to the Iranian regime’s attacks against Israel and its citizens.
A senior U.S. official said that the Israeli response to Iran was over, and asked Tehran not to respond or escalate, stressing that if Iran decides to respond, “we will be completely ready to defend Israel again and there will be serious consequences.
This should be the end of the exchange of direct strikes between Israel and Iran.
The Israeli offensive began before 2 a.m. on Tehran, and shortly after, Israeli army spokesman Daniel Haggari announced the launch of a precise and targeted attack on Iran.
Later, Israeli media reported a second wave of Israeli attacks against Iran, some of which targeted sites in Shiraz, and then the American Axios website reported Israeli and American officials as saying that Israel targeted Iran with 3 waves of strikes, and that the first waves of those Israeli strikes targeted Iran’s air defense system.
About four hours later, the Israeli Broadcasting Authority confirmed the end of the Israeli attack on Iran, in which hundreds of fighter jets participated, and the New York Times quoted Israeli officials as that the attack on Iran ended after hitting about 20 sites.
