WHAT HAPPENED

On 28 September, Al-Ittijah TV (KH — official) reported that Najaf airport’s director denied claims that flights to Iran would resume. Later, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) said Iraq’s ambassador in Iran had confirmed the prime minister’s approval to resume Iranian flights through Najaf; its Tehran correspondent said Iranian companies were ready to resume within 24 hours and expected the first flight on Wednesday. The approval and timetable are attributed to Al-Ahad TV’s report of the ambassador’s remarks, not to a published government order.
