The US has sanctioned all Iranian airlines and threatened secondary sanctions on foreign entities providing services, leading to confirmed flight suspensions by Iraq, Turkey, Oman, and Azerbaijan. Iran maintains some international flights and denies widespread cancellations, while threatening to disrupt neighboring airports if its flights are halted. The full operational impact and extent of third-country compliance remain uncertain.
