The update revokes certain counterterrorism designations and takes the Iraqi carrier off the sanctions list after it had been designated over alleged ties to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force.
The U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC, U.S. sanctions agency) has removed Fly Baghdad from its sanctions list as part of an update revoking certain counterterrorism designations tied to Iran. The Iraqi airline had previously been placed under counterterrorism sanctions because of links to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force. The move forms part of a broader easing of some Iran-related sanctions reflected in the agency's latest notice.
