Iraq is holding talks with the United States in an effort to secure an exemption from a US ban on flights by Iranian airlines, according to a statement from the Iraqi prime minister's office.
Baghdad is seeking to have flights resume on humanitarian grounds, the statement said, though it did not specify a timeline for the discussions or the scope of any exemption being sought.
The request comes against the backdrop of broader US sanctions targeting Iran, which have restricted the operations of Iranian carriers, including routes that pass through or connect with Iraq.
