US sanctions all Iranian airlines, threatens secondary penalties on fuel and services
BBC Persian·IR · US·1 day ago
New US sanctions on Iran's aviation sector have grounded up to 90% of international flights, with some foreign airports still receiving flights three days after imposition. The measure targets Iran's airline industry, likely in response to ongoing nuclear or regional tensions, and disrupts civilian travel and cargo. The full operational impact and any exemptions remain unclear.
