The UAE's General Civil Aviation Authority suspended all flights operated by Iranian airlines to and from the Emirates, citing the U.S. sanctions on Iranian carriers, WAM reported; Iran's ISNA news agency said the flights had stopped since midnight.
Why it matters
Dubai is one of the busiest destinations for Iranian carriers, with multiple daily flights and a large Iranian community, making the UAE's compliance a key test of the U.S. aviation ban.
