Iraq is asking Washington for an exemption from US sanctions that ban Iranian flights, according to Al Jazeera. The government of Prime Minister-era official Ali al-Zaidi is urging dialogue to de-escalate regional tensions while US sanctions target Iranian airlines. Iraq, which relies on routes and ties with its eastern neighbour, is trying to balance its relationship with Iran against US pressure.
Why now: Ongoing US sanctions on Iranian airlines are straining Iraq's diplomacy between Washington and Tehran.
