Iraqi Airways is scheduled to resume flights between Iraq and Iran in October. The Iraqi Ministry of Transport announced on Tuesday that the national carrier secured a specific exemption allowing the service to move forward, overcoming previous suspensions caused by US sanctions that limited flight operations involving Iranian airlines.
According to reports following the announcement, the decision follows a one-month US Treasury waiver granted by the Trump administration. This waiver specifically facilitates flights operated by Iraqi Airways between Iran and the Iraqi city of Najaf.
