WHAT HAPPENED

On 29 September, Hamid al-Musawi, spokesman for Badr’s parliamentary bloc, alleged on Watan TV (Badr Organization — affiliated) that the Najaf governor had insistently sought Transport Ministry approval to prevent Iranian aircraft landing at Najaf airport. Al-Musawi argued that the investment-run airport was not subordinate to the ministry or obliged to apply the proposed restriction, and called on the governor to explain his insistence. The account establishes al-Musawi’s objection, not that the proposed restriction was approved.

    “The Najaf governor insistently asked the Transport Ministry to approve preventing Iranian aircraft from landing at Najaf airport... Najaf airport is investment-run, is not subordinate to the Transport Ministry and is not obliged to apply the ban; the governor should explain his insistence.”
