Iraqi speaker Mahmoud al-Mashhadani (c) met a delegation of the Iranian parliament in Baghdad on July 20, 2025.
Al-Masihadani condemned the Israeli regime’s use of Iraq’s airspace, describing it as a violation of national sovereignty and a violation of Iraq’s red line.
He said Israeli invasions have been completely rejected by Iraq.
Israel attacked Iran on June 13 with an unattacked attack, assassinated military commanders and nuclear scientists on targeted strikes, and killed civilians in air raids in residential areas. On June 22nd, the United States also joined the war, bombing three Iranian nuclear sites. The war was suspended on June 24th after the Tel Aviv regime demanded a ceasefire after a retaliatory missile strike by Iran.
