Teheranul amenință că va paraliza aeroporturile țărilor vecine care vor aplica sancțiunile SUA împotriva companiilor aeriene iraniene
Iran has threatened to render airports in neighboring countries non-operational if they comply with U.S. sanctions against Iranian airlines. Following the sanctions, major Iranian airlines canceled international flights, although some flights, like those of Mahan Air to China, continued. Iran's national airline, Iran Air, reported no official restrictions from neighboring countries, yet many flights were suspended. The U.S. has blacklisted Iran's entire aviation sector and warned of secondary sanctions against any entities cooperating with Iranian airlines. This situation is part of a broader economic strategy by the U.S. to pressure Iran into compliance with its demands.
