Iran lodges complaint with U.N. over U.S. sanctions on its aviation industry
Iran has lodged a complaint with the United Nations over U.S. sanctions against its aviation sector, which have forced the cancellation of many flights across the region, state media reported Monday.
The U.S. imposed restrictions this month on the entire Iranian aviation industry and vowed to take a hard line against any companies or countries that continue to assist it.
As the sanctions took effect last Wednesday, some major airlines were forced to cancel international flights as several nations in the region implemented bans.
“To defend the legitimate rights of the aviation industry and counter illegal restrictions imposed by America, Iran has drafted and submitted a formal protest to the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO),” said civil aviation chief Abouzar Shiroudi, according to Iran’s official IRNA news agency.
