They sought the decision’s reasons and legal basis, with one demanding disclosure of its issuer, duration and responsibility for its effects; another said restrictions on flights with Iran would cause major losses and harm patients, students and other travellers. Separately, 964media reported that Najaf airport had suspended flights to and from Iran, citing an airport source on the directive’s origin.
