Baghdad seeks airport sanctions exemption
The article discusses the Iraqi government's efforts to negotiate with the United States to exempt certain airports in Iraq from the American sanctions that prevent Iranian airline flights. This step aims to facilitate humanitarian flights, such as medical treatment, education, and religious visits, despite threats from Iraqi-backed Iranian factions to hold protests outside the airports in protest of complying with the sanctions. It also notes that land crossings with Iran remain operational as usual, and Iraq is facing internal and external pressure to maintain air travel and economic cooperation with Iran, despite the American restrictions that have adversely affected Iraqi fighters due to flight limitations and impacted economic interests. Ultimately, the situation reflects Iraq's balancing act between complying with US sanctions and addressing internal and external challenges to safeguard its humanitarian and economic interests.
