Turkey suspends Mahan Air flights over US sanctions risk
Middle East Eye·TR · IR · US·about 17 hours ago
Mahan Air is cutting flights to Turkey and Oman, citing US sanctions pressure that is shrinking Iran's international connectivity. The move reflects the cumulative effect of Washington's maximum-pressure campaign on Iranian civil aviation, though the airline's own designation as a sanctions target compounds the impact. This signals continued erosion of Iran's economic and diplomatic links, with limited travel options for Iranians.
