The Iraqi Air Force will continue striking ISIS targets in Syria, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said on March 8, adding that Iraq is ready to strike terrorist targets in other neighboring countries if they give their approval.
A-Abadi made the announcement at a conference in the Iraqi Kurdish city of Sulaimaniya.
“I respect the sovereignty of states, and I have secured the approval of Syria to strike positions (on its territory),” Reuters quoted the prime minister as saying.
On February 24, al-Abadi announced for the first time that Iraq was delivering airstrikes against ISIS inside Syrian territory.
