Oh indeed.

One wonders now if Iraqi sovereignty is subservient to Israeli sovereignty
i.e. are there air corridors being marked on maps from jordan to Iran.

Given the US mil presence in the area esp wrt AWACS etc then there is no
way Israelis a/c could get to Iran w/o American approval anyway but the
route would matter.

E.g. down the Red Sea would need a "blind eye" from the Saudis
& the overland route would require out & out collaboration between
the US & Israel & over any Arab sovereignty which would send an
"interesting" message.


Also frankly I don't think the Israelis could do it & the first hurdle
any plan like that goes through is "could we succeed".
