Pressure on Iranian aviation is expanding: all flights operated by Iranian airlines to the United Arab Emirates have been canceled as of midnight. Meanwhile, a flight from Tehran to Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan, was forced to turn back after Turkmenistan refused to allow Iranian companies to pass through its airspace, according to a report by the Iranian news agency ISNA. Following the refusal, the aircraft had to land again at Imam Khomeini Airport in Tehran. The two events come against the backdrop of the expansion of US sanctions against the Iranian aviation sector and the growing pressure on companies and entities that continue to provide services to airlines from the country.
