Al Jazeera EnglishFactual
The United Arab Emirates has suspended all flights operated by Iranian airlines to and from the country, citing US sanctions that bar Iranian carriers from using airports worldwide. The UAE joins Oman, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkmenistan in restricting Iranian airline access amid sweeping US measures targeting 27 Iranian airlines. Iran says diplomatic and aviation talks are under way to lift the restrictions and restore flights to the UAE.
