Iraqi Airways has restarted flights connecting Najaf and Tehran following a period of suspension. The first flight landed in Tehran on Thursday, marking a resumption of air travel between the two cities. This recommencement was made possible after the airline secured an exemption from the United States government. Details regarding the specific terms of the exemption were not immediately available. The renewed flights are expected to facilitate travel for religious pilgrims and business travelers between Iraq and Iran. This development signals a potential easing of travel restrictions between Najaf and Tehran. The news was first reported by IraqiNews.com.
