Iraq has suspended all flights to and from Iran through Najaf airport starting Friday, following similar suspensions at Erbil and Sulaimaniya airports earlier in the week. According to the airport director, the move at Najaf was enacted to enforce United States sanctions against Iran.
The decision drew sharp criticism from Iranian quarters. A statement characterized the action as alignment with American hostile policies, warning that the policy would remain etched in the memory of the Iranian nation and asserting that regional flight access should be universal or restricted for all.
