- Iraq has granted permission for Iranian airlines, except Mahan Air, to operate up to 40 daily flights to Najaf airport after the United States granted an exception to its sanctions.
- The flights are intended to serve Shiite pilgrims, medical treatments and educational purposes, following a suspension of flights to Iran last week due to US sanctions and the withdrawal of ground‑handling services over fear of penalties.
