Iraq suspends flights from Iran to Baghdad, with the change scheduled to start at midnight on Wednesday, according to reports citing the U.S. warning.
The move follows a U.S. threat to impose sanctions on airport service providers involved in the flights. The reporting ties Iraq’s decision to the risk of punishment for entities that support Iran-linked air travel, rather than to any stated Iraqi or Iranian aviation dispute.
While both outlets focus on the same trigger and timing, the coverage differs in emphasis due to limited details from the provided excerpts. The Jerusalem Post highlights the start time for the suspension, and the Times of India report frames the decision explicitly as a response to the sanctions threat. Neither source excerpted here describes the scope of the suspension beyond Iran–Baghdad routes or provides direct comments from Iraqi authorities, Iran, or U.S. officials.
