OFAC action, 5 August

Fly Baghdad has come off the American sanctions list along with two of its Boeing 737s, and the executive listed beside it stays on, now tied directly to the Qods Force

Two Boeing 737s came off the American sanctions list on Wednesday, and so did the airline that flies them.

The Office of Foreign Assets Control determined on 5 August that the property and interests in property subject to United States jurisdiction of Fly Baghdad Airlines Company are unblocked, and removed the company from the Specially Designated Nationals list. The notice was filed with the Federal Register on Thursday morning. Treasury's own recent actions page carries it under the heading Counter Terrorism Designations Removals and Update, dated the same day.

The entry that was removed described a passenger air carrier established in 2014, with addresses at Hurriya Square and at Jamia Street in Baghdad, trading also as Iraq Express, tagged SDGT and recorded as linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Qods Force. The two aircraft removed alongside it are YI-BAF, built on 24 May 2002, serial number 32412, and YI-BAN, built on 8 January 2008, serial number 35064.

What the notice does not say

It gives no reason.

There is no finding, no explanation, no reference to a petition, a licence or an agreement, and no statement about the company's conduct at any point. The document records a determination and the resulting change to a list. Everything else about why it happened is absent from it, and this item does not supply what the document withholds.

The individual, and the one field that moved

The same notice makes a second change, and it is a single line.

Basheer Abdulkadhim Alwan Al-Shabbani, of Baghdad, born 1 May 1986, remains blocked. His entry is reproduced twice in the notice, once as it stood and once as amended, and the two are identical down to the passport numbers and their expiry dates. The one field that differs is the linkage. It read "Linked To Fly Baghdad Airlines Company" before, and it reads "Linked To Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)-Qods Force" after.

So the listing that came off and the listing that stayed on have been separated. The individual's designation no longer runs through the company, which is the tidying a delisting requires if the person is to remain listed once the entity is not. The authority for both actions is Executive Order 13224, and the notice is signed by Bradley T. Smith, the director of the office.

The document: Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control, notice of sanctions actions, removals and list update dated 5 August 2026, filed 6 August 2026.
