KUWAIT - Qatar Airways, Emirates and several other Gulf airlines still fly in Iraqi and Iranian airspace and to cities in both countries, even as other international carriers have rerouted planes since the United States and Iran traded military strikes.
Executives and analysts said carriers in the Gulf, a major transit stop between European and Asian destinations, have few alternative routes to choose from in an area where much of the airspace is kept clear of civilian aircraft for military use. Gulf carriers have grown into major airlines even as regional tensions in recent decades erupted into conflict. Rerouting flights hurts profits, they say, although they also insist that they take every precaution to keep passengers safe.
Dubai-based Emirates and sister carrier flydubai together serve 10 cities in Iran and Iraq, and have continued to use the airspace of both countries for other flights.“We will continue to fly to Iran because Iran is an important country to us and it is our neighbor and we want to serve the people of Iran,” Qatar Airways Chief Executive Akbar al-Baker said on the sidelines of a Kuwait aviation conference.
Pretty sure iran understands that if they attack or blow anymore commercial airliners out of the sky again, they'll be eating sand for the next century!!

11 U.S. troops evacuated from Iraq base after Trump claimed none 'were harmed'11 U.S. service members were injured during an Iranian missile strike last week against an Iraqi air base housing American troops, despite the administration’s previous assertion that no Americans were harmed in the assault by Tehran Another fact that slipped past trump and pompeo’s attention Unfortunately, I don't believe that they counted the injured. Just the dead. I knew it was another lie. I can't stand that bastard and his men.

How Joe Biden defended his Iraq voteBiden continued to make the case that going into Iraq was justified in the months after the invasion and instead argued that the Bush administration bungled the execution of the war. It was not until 2005 that Biden acknowledged his vote was a “mistake.” It is very worrying that Syrian civilians are still being killed in Idlib. They are not protected. Trump is seeking to increase tensions with Iraq. He must withdraw his forces. And the rest is (still) history. See my book:

Iran's supreme leader calls Trump a 'clown' who will betray Iranians with a 'poisonous dagger'Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said attacking military bases housing U.S. troops in Iraq earlier this month was a 'day of God.' Meanwhile the President got up and walked out during the 'supreme leaders' prayer... We get it. You hate the president. It’s bad when a murderous, medieval dictator calls the POTUS a CLOTUS and it is an apt judgment.
