WHAT HAPPENED

On 3 October, Al-Nujaba TV (Nujaba — official owned media) published a report caption crediting Nujaba crowds with breaking American hegemony and opening the skies to Iran. The same day, IraqiNews reported Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein’s announcement that U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had approved an exemption for religious-pilgrimage flights following bilateral talks. The two publications support a comparison of explanations for restored access, not independent confirmation that Nujaba’s supporters secured the exemption.

    “Iraqi Minister of Foreign Affairs Fuad Hussein announced on Friday, October 2, 2026, that U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent has agreed to exempt religious pilgrimage flights to holy sites in Iraq from secondary sanctions imposed on Iranian aviation, following intensive bilateral talks held in Washington.”

WHY IT MATTERS

The explanations emphasize different agents: Nujaba’s crowds in the channel’s caption, and Iraqi–American negotiations in the minister’s reported announcement. Those accounts are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
