Remove index.php/ from URL using htaccess

Question

https://www.URL/index.php/iadmin/dashboard/index/key/

Is there a way to remove index.php/ portion of this URL only if URL has iadmin path in it?

I am runing Magento on Apache, and after update of Apache and php my admin page only opens if I remove index.php from it's URL.

This is how my original htaccess looks like

You can insert this rule just below RewriteBase line to remove index.php from URL:

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+index\.php/(iadmin/\S*)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [L,NE,R=301]
