Ammar al-Hakim, a prominent Iraqi religious figure, has formally requested the restoration of flight operations between Iran and Iraq. This appeal follows widespread public demonstrations throughout Iraq, where citizens gathered in cities including Karbala, Najaf, and Nasiriyah to protest the government's recent decision to halt air traffic with the neighboring nation. Al-Hakim emphasized his support for the Iranian population amidst current financial challenges. The protests reflect significant domestic opposition to the suspension of travel links, with participants across various regions expressing their disapproval of the Baghdad administration's policy. The cleric's statement aligns with the sentiments voiced by the protesters who seek to maintain connectivity between the two countries despite the existing diplomatic and economic constraints.
