UAE suspends Iranian airlines' flights over US sanctions
–
Neutral summary
The UAE's General Civil Aviation Authority announced on Thursday that it was suspending all flights by Iranian airlines to and from the country until further notice, saying the decision was based on US sanctions imposed over the use of airports worldwide. Earlier, Georgia and Azerbaijan officially confirmed suspending flights, and a travel agent in Tehran told AFP that flights to Baghdad, Muscat and Qatar were also halted, though routes to China remained available. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said more than 80–90 percent of Iran's external flights had been shut down and questioned how Iran's delegation to the UN General Assembly in New York would return home. The Independent and Euronews report that hundreds of trucks are queuing at Turkey's Gurbulak border crossing with Iran, with waiting times stretching from 24 hours to a week, as a US naval blockade pushes trade overland through Turkey and Pakistan. TASS, citing ISNA, says Iranian airlines have cancelled all flights to the UAE, and an Iranian civil aviation official urged passengers to check flight information. France 24 notes the suspension effectively cuts Tehran off from Dubai, one of the region's most important commercial hubs.
