The United States Treasury has lifted sanctions that were previously imposed on the Iraqi carrier Fly Baghdad and two of its aircraft. The airline had been targeted by Washington in January 2024 over alleged connections to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its Quds Force, accusations that the company consistently denied.

The removal of the restrictions was made official through an update to the US Treasury Department's website on Wednesday. The initial designation had aimed to disrupt financial and logistical support allegedly provided to Iranian-backed regional networks by the airline.
