In a press statement, Maan said that there is no truth to the rumors circulating on some social media platforms regarding this matter, noting that Iraqi airspace remains open and air navigation is proceeding normally, with no decision to close it.
He clarified that “the video clip that has been circulated in this regard dates back to an earlier time and has been edited, removing it from its original context,” calling for accuracy and responsibility in disseminating information, avoiding being drawn into fragmented or altered clips, and refraining from spreading rumors, while emphasizing the need to rely on official sources for news and information.
