Iranian Flight to Najaf Sparks De-escalation
The Najaf International Airport in Iraq has resumed receiving Iranian flights after Iraq received an exemption from the U.S. sanctions that previously restricted the Iranian aviation sector. The first flight was operated by Caspian Airlines from Mashhad, and the allowed number of direct flights has been set at 40 per day, with this number expected to be reached within two days. This exception comes in the context of strengthening political and security understandings, and the move aims to ease tensions within Iraqi streets, especially amid popular protests and armed factions that opposed the ban on Iranian flights. Therefore, this exemption is seen as an indication of efforts to improve air and economic relations with Iran.
