According to ChainCatcher, citing a Fox News report, the U.S. Treasury Department has removed some Iran-related sanctions from its website. A Treasury official said the removal does not represent any change in Washington's policy toward the Iranian government, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force, any designated terrorist organization, or its supporters and agents. The official described the move as part of normal administrative procedures, taken after a review of the specific circumstances surrounding the airline Fly Baghdad. Earlier, the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) published an update on its official website revoking counterterrorism designations, lifting some Iran-related sanctions, including the removal of Fly Baghdad from the sanctions list. Fly Baghdad had previously been added to the U.S. counterterrorism sanctions list because of its ties to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force. The development was first reported by Fox News, and the information was relayed by ChainCatcher in a flash news update.
