US lifts sanctions on Iran‑linked Fly Baghdad airline and IRGC entities

Fly Baghdad Airlines Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps U.S. sanctions Strait of Hormuz Brent crude price

The U.S. Treasury removed counter‑terrorism sanctions from Iraq’s Fly Baghdad Airlines, its two Boeing 737 aircraft and the airline’s owner, citing major changes in its operations. At the same time, the Treasury lifted sanctions on three entities linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Officials said the moves do not signal a shift in U.S. policy toward Iran, the IRGC or designated terrorist groups and that sanctions could be reimposed at any time. The actions are part of a broader de‑escalation effort tied to negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz and an interim agreement between the United States and Iran. Markets reacted quickly, with Brent crude falling about 5.3 % to $79.36 per barrel. The sanctions relief coincided with the interim agreement signed between President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.
