UAE bars Iranian airline flights following United States sanctions

The United Arab Emirates announced it will no longer permit flights by Iranian airlines into or out of its territory, aligning with United States economic pressure measures. Meanwhile, flight tracking data indicates that a Mahan Air commercial flight from Tehran landed in Guangzhou, China, despite threats from Washington to halt all Iranian air carrier operations globally. It remains unconfirmed whether other regional hubs will implement similar restrictions.
