TEHRAN (Defapress) - According to Al-Ma'luma, Iraqi security expert Kazem Al-Juheishi stated: America has imposed restrictions on the process of arming Iraqi forces and does not allow the country to sign arms contracts with other countries in the world.

He added: The fact that Iraq does not sign arms contracts with China is due to US pressure. This means that Iraq must obtain permission from the US in this regard.

Al-Juheishi added: These restrictions are not limited to China, but include any country with which the US does not agree. Even the signing of the contract to purchase French weapons is done with US permission.

The Zionist regime used Iraqi airspace during its aggression against Iran, which caused the Iraqi people to ask the government and parliament to purchase the necessary military equipment to protect the country's airspace.
