The US Treasury said that the crossing out of the Iraqi airline Fly Baghdad from Iran’s sanctions lists does not mean any softening of restrictions against Tehran. The US Treasury clarified that the restrictions were lifted "as part of the normal administrative process upon review of the specifics related to" Fly Baghdad. According to the US authorities, Fly Baghdad has proven that its operations have changed and there are no longer any grounds for sanctions. Restrictions on Fly Baghdad were imposed in January 2024. The US then said that the airline provided support to the IRGC and its affiliated forces in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon, which Fly Baghdad denied.
