Al-Sharq Al-Awast's claim: The war against Iran may have started quietly from Iraq The newspaper "A-Sharq Al-Awast" claimed that the Iraqi authorities are investigating the possibility that two Chinese-made air defense systems were the targets of air strikes last week. Attacks that may signal the quiet beginning of a new phase in the war between the US and Israel against Iran, this time from Iraq. According to this newspaper, it is believed that a shipment of Chinese-made mobile air defense systems, which was recently transferred from Iran to Iraq and given to armed groups near Tehran, was destroyed in these strikes. These claims have not yet been independently verified. An Iraqi security official told Al-Sharq Al-Awast that Baghdad has enough reasons to believe that Israel is involved in the attack, but the method of carrying out the operation and its definite cause have not yet been determined.
