US: Iraqi efforts to block Iranian overflights 'not enough'
None
The Iraqi government needs to do more to prevent Iran from flying weapons and fighters through its airspace en route to Syria, a US official told lawmakers on Wednesday.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has been accused by the United States of allowing Iran to fly planes through Iraqi airspace and send support to bolster Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, whom Washington blames for a nearly three-year-old civil war that has killed more than 130,000 people.
