Date: Tuesday, 10 June 2025 at 03:21 AM Air Says Jet Flew Over Iraq As Iranian Missiles Descended On Israel - Foreign Affairs - Nairaland Air Says Jet Flew Over Iraq As Iranian Missiles Descended On Israel (23453 Views) (4) (1) Go Down) Morbeta11(m): 12:43pm On Oct 10, 2024 Air has opened an investigation into how a jet flying from Paris to Dubai went over Iraq as Iranian missiles fired at Israel crossed the same airspace, the airline said Wednesday. Iran launched dozens of missiles towards Israel on October 1 in what it said was a response to the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and others in Lebanon. The missiles had to through Iraq’s airspace to reach Israel. Air Flight AF662 was flying over Iraq when the Iranian attack began at around 4:45 p.m. UTC (11.45 a.m. ET) and left Iraqi airspace “shortly before” 5 p.m. UTC (12 p.m. ET), the airline told CNN in a statement. Iraqi airspace was not officially closed by local authorities until 5:56 p.m. UTC (12:56 p.m. ET), it added. “Thanks to the information we gathered we were able to identify a forthcoming attack on Israel by Iran, involving the launch of ballistic missiles,” Air said. “As a result, and without waiting for instructions from the Iraqi authorities, Air decided to suspend the overflight of the country’s airspace by its aircraft from 5 p.m. UTC [12 p.m. ET],” it added. Emirates Airbus A380 double decker enger aircraft spotted flying in the air between the blue sky and the clouds, on final approach for landing on the runway of London Heathrow Airport LHR in the United Kingdom. The superjumbo wide body airplane has the registration tail number A6-EUI and is powered by 4x Engine Alliance EA GP7270 jet engines. The long haul airliner is arriving from Dubai. Emirates EK is one of the flag carrier airline in the United Arab Emirates UAE owned by the Government of Dubai Investment Corporation of Dubai. The airline is the 4th largest in the world with main hub Dubai International Airport DXB, with a fleet of 249 planes. London, UK on September 2024 (Photo by Nicolas Economou/NurPhoto via Getty Images) The airline said its jets “were already avoiding Israeli, Lebanese and Iranian airspace,” and that Flight AF662 was flying through “a special corridor used by all airlines.” Some hours before the strike, the White House said it had “indications that Iran is preparing to imminently launch a ballistic missile attack against Israel.” Air stressed that a number of its other flights had been diverted to avoid the region on the night of the attack. “Air constantly monitors geopolitical developments in the areas it serves and flies over, to ensure the highest levels of flight safety and security,” it said, adding “the safety of its customers and crews is its top priority.” French television channel LCI, which first reported the incident, said Air pilots saw the missiles in the night sky from the cockpit, and that Iraqi air traffic control had wished the pilots “good luck.” Asked by CNN, an Air spokesperson would not confirm that the pilots saw missiles fly past. The incident comes as the conflict in the Middle East further spirals. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned the Lebanese people they face falling “into the abyss of a long war” as his country escalates its attacks on Hezbollah, which is continuing to fire rockets into northern Israel. The Israeli cabinet is also considering how to respond to Iran’s October 1 strike, after pledging Tehran “will pay” for launching its largest-ever attack on Israel. Meanwhile, Israel’s offensive in Gaza rages on. Palestinians fleeing sites of Israel’s renewed military operation in the north of the strip are being shot at as they evacuate, according to residents there and footage shared with CNN documenting their journey. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/10/09/travel/air--iraq-iran-israel-missile-intl/index.html 1 Like Stone123(m): 12:49pm On Oct 10, 2024 Okay 1 Like mytime24(f): 7:27pm On Oct 10, 2024 Iran must collect 33 Likes Ozid(m): 7:27pm On Oct 10, 2024 I just wish this war can stop.

This is just the last kick of a dying horse. They should continue doing their best. In fact they should send their best ballistic missiles now because by the time ISREAL begins to rain them with airstrikes, they may not have the opportunity to fire even a half missile. They should utilize just this moment they have at hand. Tel Aviv is cooking something deadly. Something that will change the face of the middle east.

The once-reliable Iron Dome defense system, which used to intercept almost every missile, has suddenly shown vulnerabilities, with rockets slipping through and even hitting Tel Aviv for the first time in history. Israel's efforts to displace its Arab neighbors, particularly in Gaza and the West Bank, have encountered fierce resistance, with operations that once seemed seamless now turning into prolonged conflicts. It's hard not to draw connections between these developments and the new wave of Igbo . Some might dismiss it as coincidence, but when a discerning observer looks closer, it feels as though Israel's fortunes shifted right around the same time. What was once military dominance and regional control has been met with stronger pushback and growing instability, raising questions about what, if anything, has changed in the background. Even as it sounds far-fetched, it's clear that Israel's challenges have only intensified since this new alliance came into play.

And he was seen talking to himself this afternoon...something about flying giant scorpions, and green snakes swimming in the air. The general public is warned to stay out of his way...meanwhile it has been suggested that he drinks a mixture of five grams of garlic, two grams of salt, ten grammes of sugar, the bile juice of a cockatrice, the heart of a sabre toothed tiger, ten gramms of sand from the shores of the caspian sea, two grammes of polar bear liver and five grammes of pepper....in order for him to fully recover himself. 36 Likes 4 Shares NoIgboSoundTueh: 7:42pm On Oct 10, 2024 wmew RushManni: 7:43pm On Oct 10, 2024 Ozid: I just wish this war can stop.
