Tehran Faces Isolation As Air Travel Becomes Less Predictable
The US has imposed sanctions on Iran’s aviation sector, including Iranian airlines and companies providing ground handling and airport support, which face secondary sanctions and potentially lose access to the US financial system. The sanctions have already led to the cancellation of flights to several Middle East routes, and passengers are facing increased uncertainty and risk when traveling to and from Iran. According to a report by DW, the sanctions are part of a broader pressure campaign by the US, which may have significant implications for Iran’s economy and trade.
