Iranian Airlines Halt Gulf Neighbour Flights Amid US Deadline

Iranian flights to Gulf neighbours, including Dubai, have been cancelled as new US sanctions take effect. The US Treasury had set a deadline for companies worldwide to comply with an order to stop doing business with Iranian airlines, aiming to ground the entire global Iranian civilian fleet. The move is part of a broader campaign by the US to increase economic pressure on Iran, which has already faced a US blockade of its ports at sea. This development was reported by Reuters.
