Iraq, Oman and Azerbaijan have joined a growing list of countries suspending air travel to Iran, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday.
The report cites US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s warning of further sanctions as context for the suspensions. It does not establish that the warning prompted the decisions.
The supplied report summary does not say which routes or airlines are affected, whether all services have stopped, or how long the suspensions will last.
It also does not report that further sanctions have been imposed. The countries already on the wider list are not identified in the supplied material.
