Israel says it will retaliate against any neighboring country that allows Iranian missiles to pass through
After Iran's retaliatory attack on Israel, various countries such as Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq took their own measures, closing the airspace. After that, the Ministry of Defense in Israel made strong statements, stating that any country that allows the passage of kamikaze drones will receive a response from Israel.
"Any country that opens its airspace or territory to Iran to attack Israel will receive a strong response from us," the Israeli Defense Ministry spokesman said.
The US claimed that Iran would use Yemen, Lebanon and Iraq to attack Israel so that the kamikaze drones could reach Israel more quickly. Although there was a risk and fear that the three countries would become parties to this difficult situation, they seem to have backed down and reopened the airports after the attacks.
