Iraq FM says can't stop Iran arms flights to Syria

Iraq is unable to stop its neighbour Iran transferring weapons to Syria through its airspace, Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said in a newspaper interview published on Saturday.

"We reject and condemn the transfer of weapons through our airspace and we will inform the Iranian side of that. But we do not have the ability to stop it," he told Asharq al-Awsat. "If you imagine these flights breach United Nations Security Council resolutions banning weapons imports and exports from Iran I invite you to help us," he said. (Reuters)
