Fox News reported on August 5 that the U.S. Treasury Department has removed some Iran-related sanctions from its website. A Treasury official said the removal does not represent any shift in U.S. policy toward the Iranian government, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force, any designated terrorist organization, or their supporters and proxies. The official added that the removal is part of normal administrative procedures and was conducted after a review of the specific circumstances related to Baghdad Air, which is also known as Fly Baghdad. Earlier, the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) published an update titled “Revocation of Counterterrorism Designations” on its official website. That update lifted some Iran-related sanctions and removed Fly Baghdad from the sanctions list. Fly Baghdad had previously been placed on the counterterrorism sanctions list because of its association with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force. The removal from the list came as part of the same administrative review, according to the Treasury official.
