US Sanctions Lead to Suspension of Iranian Airline Flights by Several Countries
Following new US sanctions targeting Iran's aviation sector, several countries including the UAE, Georgia, and Azerbaijan have suspended flights operated by Iranian airlines. These measures aim to restrict Iran's international air operations by sanctioning companies providing services to Iranian carriers. Despite cancellations on routes to the UAE, Baghdad, Muscat, and Qatar, flights to destinations like China and Turkey continue. Iranian officials have condemned the sanctions, warning of reciprocal actions, while some airports have yet to receive directives to halt Iranian flights.
