Iranian aviation sanctions remove Baghdad and Muscat
Iran has decided to cancel direct flights to Baghdad and Muscat starting from midnight on Wednesday, in response to U.S. sanctions that threaten Iranian airlines and impose penalties on entities providing services to Iranian aviation, including fueling, landing services, and ticket sales. The Iranian Civil Aviation Organization confirmed that flights to Baghdad and Muscat have been halted, with flights destined for Baghdad redirected to Najaf Airport. Flights to Istanbul are allowed to continue. Simultaneously, the Iraqi government is considering transferring its flights from Baghdad Airport to Najaf Airport as well, following a threat from the U.S. Treasury Department to implement secondary sanctions that could force Iranian airlines to cease operations as early as September 23, due to the risk of service providers being cut off from the American financial system. Iran has not specified the duration of the flight suspension, which adds significant pressure on Iran's aviation sector amidst increasing U.S. sanctions targeting companies that do business with Iran.
