The plane was prevented from departing before its scheduled flight after lawyers and enforcement officials arrived, and it was detained by authorities due to the unpaid debts. The Iranian airline stated that the seizure resulted from an administrative issue and was not related to the U.S. sanctions imposed on the Iranian aviation sector.
