Iraq to ban Iranian flights under US pressure
Iraq will suspend flights by Iranian airlines following a warning from the US Treasury Department, AFP reports. The ban will take effect on Tuesday at dawn, according to an Iraqi official. This move comes after the US warned that sanctioned Iranian carriers would be grounded worldwide. The decision aligns with US efforts to exert pressure on Iran by restricting its aviation capabilities. Turkish authorities are also expected to comply with the US directive, further limiting Iran's air connectivity.
Impact Airlines and logistics firms involved in Iran-Iraq routes face disruptions as flights are suspended.

US plans sanctions on ICC over Netanyahu, Gallant
The Trump administration plans to impose sweeping sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC), Ynet reports. These measures could sever the ICC from the global financial system as part of Washington's escalating campaign against the court's arrest warrants for Israeli officials Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant. European countries and other ICC supporters have pledged to protect the court from US pressure. The sanctions could significantly impact the ICC's operations and its ability to function internationally.
Impact ICC's financial operations face disruption; European allies may counter US measures.
