He added that all planes taking off from the Kurdistan Region are also prevented from entering the Iranian airspace.
Referring to the insistence of authorities in Kurdistan Region to hold an independence referendum despite Iran’s diplomatic efforts to dissuade them, the spokesman noted that Iran closed its airspace to the region at the request of the Baghdad government.
