A scholar in Tehran asserts that United States sanctions imposed on Iran’s aviation sector potentially breach core tenets of international law. The academic argues these secondary sanctions could compromise the international obligations of other countries adhering to established agreements. These restrictions target Iran's ability to maintain its civilian aircraft fleet, raising concerns about safety and accessibility. The academic’s statement, reported by IRNA, highlights a growing debate over the legality and impact of Washington’s sanctions policies. The concerns center on whether the US is unduly restricting legitimate trade and potentially endangering civilian air travel. This legal challenge could escalate diplomatic tensions between Iran and the United States, particularly concerning adherence to international regulations.
