Middle East Conflict: Israel ask US to provide "air corridor" over Iraq to allow Israeli strike on Iran

According to a report in Britain's Daily Telegraph, Israel is seeking permission from the United States to fly its jets over Iraq to attack Iran's nuclear facilities,

A senior Israeli defence official told the newspaper that negotiations were taking place for the US-led coalition in Iraq to provide an "air corridor" over Iraq if Israel decided on unilateral action.

The official said that "We are planning for every eventuality, and sorting out issues such as these are crucial," adding "If we don’t sort these issues out we could have a situation where American and Israeli war planes start shooting at each other".
