U.S. Treasury lifts sanctions on Fly Baghdad despite previous IRGC links
In a sudden shift in regional policy, the U.S. Treasury announced on Wednesday the lifting of sanctions previously imposed on the Iraqi airline Fly Baghdad. The carrier had been designated for providing support to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its proxy groups. The decision comes amid broader diplomatic realignments in the Middle East as the U.S. attempts to stabilize regional transport hubs following the conclusion of major hostilities in the Iran-linked maritime corridor.
