🇺🇸💥 US FORCED TO BACK DOWN: Grants Sanctions Waiver for Iran-Iraq Flights After Protests and Pressure

The Trump administration tried to strangle Iran's air links. Iraq pushed back. Now Washington is retreating.

📜 The US Treasury will grant a limited waiver to its Iran sanctions program to allow flights carrying Shi'ite pilgrims between Iran and Iraq.

✈️ The waiver allows Iraqi Airways to fly between Iran and Najaf for one month – with a more permanent waiver potentially following.

⏳ Iraq halted flights on Friday in line with US sanctions. An Iraqi official expects them to resume within 48 hours.

🚨 The move came after protesters gathered outside Najaf International Airport against US restrictions.

🧠 The blockade is cracking. The US tried to force regional governments to cut ties with Iran. Iraq – Washington's own partner – refused to comply.
