Iranian aviation officials are negotiating with Oman and Iraq as new US sanctions targeting carriers take effect seven months into the conflict.
Iran has cancelled flights to Baghdad and Muscat ahead of new United States aviation sanctions, according to reports on the country's aviation sector.
Iranian aviation officials are negotiating with their counterparts in Oman and Iraq as the sanctions, which target carriers, are set to take effect seven months into the ongoing conflict. US Treasury Secretary Bessent has been identified as a figure pushing the sanctions targeting Iranian carriers.
The cancellations reflect the broader economic and logistical strain the conflict and related sanctions have placed on Iran's aviation industry, which has faced mounting restrictions on international operations.
Further details on the duration of the flight cancellations or the outcome of the negotiations with Oman and Iraq were not immediately available.
