Tehran has detailed dozens of cases of US fighter jets and drones allegedly conducting missions over the Gulf states during strikes

Iran has formally accused the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia of allowing the US military to use their territory and airspace to launch and support strikes against the Islamic Republic, according to letters sent to the UN Security Council.

In separate complaints addressed to the Security Council and the UN secretary-general, Tehran detailed multiple instances of US fighter jets, bombers, reconnaissance drones, and support aircraft allegedly operating from or transiting the airspace of the three Gulf states from March 15-20. 

The letters, shared on social media by Adla Massoud, a UN correspondent for The National, warned that Iran reserves the right to take “all necessary and appropriate measures” in self-defense.

The incidents listed include F-35 and F-18 fighter jets, B-1 bombers, RQ-4 and U-2 reconnaissance aircraft, and P-8 maritime patrol planes operating over UAE, Qatari, and Saudi airspace in support of bombing raids on Iranian targets.

The letters urged the three nations to “observe the principles of good neighborliness” and stop making their territory available for attacks on Iran.
