伊拉克以制裁风险为由拒绝伊朗国足飞机降落巴士拉：球队改走陆路入境
据路透社11月10日报道，伊拉克民航局当天拒绝一架载有伊朗国家足球队的飞机在巴士拉机场降落，理由是担心接纳伊朗航空公司的航班会违反美国制裁。飞机随后返回伊朗、在 Abadan 降落，球队改经 Shalamcheh 口岸走陆路前往巴士拉。
伊朗队此行是参加在巴士拉举行的四国足球邀请赛，参赛队为伊拉克、伊朗、黎巴嫩与巴勒斯坦，赛事定于11月13日开赛，伊朗队14日首战巴勒斯坦队。伊朗驻巴士拉领事馆官员证实球队将改走陆路。
报道说，美国在9月23日之后宣布对与伊朗航空公司做生意的全球企业实施制裁，意在停飞伊朗民航机队；财政部长 Scott Bessent 警告，为伊朗航空公司提供服务的机场可能面临包括被排除在美元体系之外的制裁。伊拉克已于9月暂停伊朗飞往巴格达机场的航班。
Iraq Bars Iranian Football Team's Plane From Landing in Basra Over Sanctions Risk: Team Travels by Road
Reuters reported on November 10 that Iraq's Civil Aviation Authority barred a plane carrying Iran's national football team from landing at Basra airport, saying Iraq could not risk violating U.S. sanctions on Iranian airlines. The aircraft returned to Iran and landed at Abadan, and the team travelled on to Basra by road via the Shalamcheh crossing.
Iran was travelling for a four-nation tournament in Basra involving Iraq, Iran, Lebanon and Palestine, scheduled to start on November 13, with Iran facing Palestine on November 14. An Iranian consulate official in Basra confirmed the team would make the trip overland.
According to the report, Washington announced sanctions after September 23 on global companies doing business with Iranian airlines, aiming to ground Iran's civil fleet, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned that airports servicing Iranian airlines could face sanctions including exclusion from the U.S. dollar system. Iraq had already suspended Iranian flights to Baghdad airport in September.
