Iraq bars Iranian football team plane from landing in Basra

Iraq barred a plane carrying Iran's national soccer team from landing at Basra airport on ​Tuesday, a decision by the Iraqi Civil Aviation ‌Authority linked to US sanctions imposed on Iranian airlines, two Basra airport officials said.

Axar.az reports, citing Reuters, that the plane returned to Iran and landed at ​Abadan airport, and the team will now travel ​overland to Basra, an Iranian consulate official in Basra ⁠said.

The Iranian team was travelling to Iraq to ​participate in a four-nation tournament in Basra also involving Iraq, ​Lebanon and Palestine.
