The Iraqi government, led by Ali al-Zaidi, has formally requested an exemption from United States sanctions that currently prohibit flights between Iraq and Iran. The move is part of a broader push by Baghdad to maintain regional connectivity despite the ongoing enforcement of American economic measures against Iranian aviation entities.

Iraqi officials are advocating for diplomatic dialogue as a primary mechanism to address these regional tensions. By seeking this waiver, the government aims to navigate the complexities of its strategic relationships with both Washington and Tehran while mitigating the impact of sanctions on its own national interests.
