# US Removes Sanctions on Fly Baghdad and Two Aircraft 2026-08-06T11:40:34+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The US Treasury has removed Iraqi airline Fly Baghdad and two aircraft from its sanctions list, while keeping sanctions on the airline’s identified owner, Basheer Abdulkadhim Alwan Al-Shabbani. The aircraft are Boeing 737s with tail numbers YI-BAF and YI-BAN, Times Now reports. The delisting covers Fly Baghdad Airlines Company, Fly Baghdad and Iraq Express. NDTV says the Treasury update gave no reason for the decision. Times Now, citing a Reuters report and a US Treasury official, says the move followed an Office of Foreign Assets Control review and changes in the airline’s conduct. The official said it did not signal a policy shift on Iran or the Revolutionary Guard, and was unrelated to US-Iran talks. ## Coverage - ndtv.com - timesnownews.com Tags: Fly Baghdad, Iran, Iraq, Treasury, US sanctions Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/us-removes-sanctions-on-fly-baghdad-and-two-aircraft/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
