#1 provide an "air corridor" in the event of the Israeli government deciding on unilateral military action

Under those circumstances, it wouldnt exactly be considered unilateral now would it. It certainly wouldnt be perceived that way anyway.

#2 In a unilateral Israel scenario, it would be tricky as to whether it would be US permission or Iraqi government permission to let them overfly. Plus, if Israel was to have an unofficial landing strip for refueling in Iraq, it would make things much easier.

Then, the US could step in by refusing to permit overflights by Iran or its missiles.

There is also the possibility of immediately retaliation against both Israel and US forces in the region.

All of that would be considered by the Dungeon Masters in the Pentagon basement.
