The American effort to stem the flow of Iranian arms to Syria has faltered because of Iraq’s reluctance to inspect aircraft carrying the weapons through its airspace, American officials say.
The shipments have persisted at a critical time for President Bashar al-Assad
of Syria, who has come under increasing military pressure from rebel
fighters. The air corridor over Iraq has emerged as a main supply route
for weapons, including rockets, antitank missiles, rocket-propelled
grenade and mortars.
