The United States authorizes flights for Iranian pilgrims to Najaf, according to an Iraqi official

The United States has granted conditional exemptions to Iraqi airlines to operate flights between Najaf and Iran, allowing Iranian pilgrims to travel to the holy city of Najaf. The Iraqi airport was informed of this decision, but no specific schedule has been set yet. These exemptions come amid negotiations between the Iraqi government and the US, following the implementation of US sanctions targeting Iran's aviation sector in early September.
