US Sanctions: Washington Seeks to Isolate Iran's Aviation Sector
The United States is seeking to cut off Iran's aviation sector from the rest of the world, a measure whose first victims could be Iran's 93 million citizens, according to observers.

The United States is launching an offensive aimed at isolating Iran's aviation sector from the rest of the world, according to a France 24 report.
This initiative is presented as a dramatic measure against the Iranian regime, but its initial consequences could directly impact the country's 93 million residents, particularly in terms of transportation and supply routes.
The report does not specify the exact mechanisms of the intended sanctions, nor which airlines or specific routes would be affected by these restrictions.
Iran's aviation sector has been subject to Western sanctions for several years, which has already limited the country's access to spare parts and maintenance for its commercial aircraft fleet.
The humanitarian consequences of sanctions targeting essential sectors such as aviation are regularly debated, with some observers highlighting the gap between measures targeting authorities and the impact on the civilian population.
