Iran using Iraqi airspace to supply Syrian military

Sept. 5, 2012
Iran is using an Iraqi air corridor to ferry military supplies to the Syrian government. The U.S. pressured the Iraqi government to shut down such flights through their airspace earlier this year, but flights resumed in July. In addition to the flights, Iran reportedly has provided Syria with a cargo plane while Iranian operatives train Syrian military and paramilitary forces. Iraqi Shiite militia are also said to be headed to Syria to support the government. The U.S. military relinquished control of Iraqi airspace in October, 2011 and all troops and equipment were withdrawn in December, leaving Iraq without an air force until September, 2014 at the earliest.
