A senior adviser to Iran's supreme leader warned that regional air travel could be disrupted if a ban on Iranian aircraft continues, according to Anadolu Agency.
The adviser said that if Iranian aircraft are barred from flying or receiving airport services, no country in the region would be able to do so either, the report said. Anadolu Agency's account did not specify which countries or airlines are currently subject to the described ban, nor did it detail the origin of the restrictions being referenced.
The comments suggest Iran views reciprocal measures as a possible response to restrictions placed on its aviation sector, in a region where airspace access has repeatedly become entangled with broader political and security tensions.
No other regional governments were quoted responding to the adviser's remarks in the available reporting.
