Journalists and other X users in Iraq have confirmed seeing several unmanned aerial vehicles flying into Israel. An Israeli media said that  “Iranian drones began to cross the airspace of Iraq and approached Syria and Jordan. Shortly after they approach Israel, a missile attack will begin”

News agencies have also informed that Iran launched cruise missiles at Israel. Also, a spokeperson of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp cofirmed this information.

To avoid incidents, Iraq decided to close its airspace, as reported by the Iraqi Ministry of Transport. The management of Erbil International Airport also confirmed in a press statement that the decision to close Iraqi airspace also included the Kurdish region of Iraq.

Jordan has taken the same decision to close its airspace, according to The Jordanian Civil Aviation Regulatory Authority says the country will close its airspace from 11pm local time (20:00 GMT).

This is a warned attack by Iran after the Israeli Army bombed the Iranian consulate in Damascus, which caused an escalation between the Iranian and Israeli governments.
