Flights between Iran and Iraq have been suspended. Saudi Arabian TV channel Al Hadath reported the news on site X, citing sources. The publication noted that flights from Iran to all Iraqi airports have been canceled. Earlier, the head of the EU's foreign policy agency, Kaya Kallas, said that the European Union did not expect Iran's leadership to come under pressure from protesters anytime soon, but was addressing the issue by supporting civil society in the Islamic republic. One day before news broke that EU countries were discussing adding Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to the list of “terrorist organizations”. On December 28, protests began in Iran due to the devaluation of the national currency. In response, authorities increased security measures, including the use of tear gas and air guns by police. Large-scale protests took place in Tehran, and the most serious clashes were recorded in the west and southwest of the country, in the cities of Malekshah, Kermanshah and Lordegan.
