Iraq’s government is in talks with the United States to seek an exemption from a ban affecting Iranian airlines. The discussions aim to ease travel disruptions linked to the restrictions, which are affecting passengers who rely on flights operated by Iranian carriers.

The reported impact includes delays and difficulties for specific groups such as patients seeking medical care, students traveling for education, and pilgrims. Both outlets describe the same core effort by Iraq to negotiate relief from the ban, but provide limited additional details on the status of talks, the scope of any potential exemption, or the timeline for resolving the issue.
