The NFZ prevented Iraq from using its air force against the Kurdish population.

I question that Iraq even had territorial sovereignty over the northern NFZ near Turkey. They didn't control the area, the Kurds did. The Iraqi government in no way represented these people, indeed it had tried to kill as many of them as possible in the past. So why should it have been considered Iraqi territory?
