Irakul cere Statelor Unite o excepţie de la sancţiunile care afectează legăturile aeriene cu Iranul • Newsweek România

The Iraqi government is seeking an exemption from U.S. sanctions affecting air travel with Iran, which impacts humanitarian transport. Discussions with Washington aim to allow flights for medical, educational, and religious purposes. The sanctions have disrupted travel for Iraqi students and patients, causing significant difficulties. Many are now facing long land journeys to return home, while prices for alternative transport are rising. The U.S. imposed these sanctions in early September, warning foreign companies against supporting Iranian airlines. Iraq and Iran share close ties due to religious and political connections.
