Iraqi FM: We can't stop Iran arms shipments to Syria

Iraq is unable to stop its neighbor 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 formally. 


But we do not have the ability to stop it," he told pan-Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat.


Iran is the main ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad, who is fighting mostly Sunni rebels in a civil war in which more the opposition say more than 100,000 people have been killed.
