The General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran has issued a statement on Israel’s attack on the country, saying the regime used airspace controlled by the United States in Iraq to carry out its limited attacks on Iran’s military sites, Paralel.Az reports citing IRNA.

The statement, issued late on Saturday, said that Israeli fighter jets stationed within a range of 100 kilometers from the Iranian borders in the Iraqi airspace controlled by the US had fired a number of air-launched missiles at Iranian targets in the early hours of the day.

It said Iranian radar units in the border provinces of Ilam and Khuzestan and near the capital Tehran suffered “minor and ineffective” damage as a result of the Israeli aggression, adding that all radar units have either been repaired or are being re-serviced.
