It's a no-fly zone just for Iraq. They agreed to it as part of the 1991 terms. This isn't a "keeping noisy Cessnas out of a National Park type" no-fly zone. It was specifically to keep the Iraqi Air Farce from attacking Iraqi citizens.

And they violate it just to whatever extent they think they can get a way with. And they shoot at coalition a/c flying in it, also in violation of the terms.

They didn't, actually. We imposed the no-fly zones after the ceasefire agreement, when Iraq started attacking the Kurds in the north and the Shiites in the south. Nor did the UN specifically authorize it. But tough noogies.

Correct.
