South China Morning Post said the waiver would allow pilgrim travel for one month. WTVB reported Reuters identified Shi’ite Muslim pilgrims as beneficiaries. Reuters mentioned a Treasury Department waiver for Iraqi Airways. Digi 24 highlighted the connection’s importance and quoted a Reuters source with knowledge. Investing.com called the story exclusive.","None of the centre digests include a cost estimate for the waiver, a statement from Iranian or Iraqi officials, or details about how the waiver would be implemented beyond the one‑month period.
