Ramin Kashef Azar, CEO of the Imam Khomeini Airport City Company, told ILNA on Wednesday that all flights at the airport are currently operating and that flight operations are proceeding normally, with no flights canceled so far.

He said the airport authority has received no letter or correspondence concerning a reduction in international flights or a lowering of flight operations, adding that no country has contacted the authority on the matter.

Kashef Azar also emphasized that planning to expand the airport’s flight network remains underway. He said efforts to establish new international routes are continuing, with Tunisia and Vietnam among the destinations being considered for new flight routes.

Separately, Abuzar Shiroudi, head of Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization, described the latest US action as neither a new initiative nor an indication that Washington’s policies had been effective, but rather “a repetition of a failed policy against the Iranian people.”

He said Iran’s aviation industry has faced restrictions for years on the purchase of aircraft and spare parts, as well as on technical, banking, insurance, repair and maintenance services. Despite these pressures, he added, “Iran’s skies have not stopped and will not stop.”

Shiroudi stressed that the announcement of sanctions does not mean aircraft will be grounded or airlines shut down.

“Sanctions may increase the cost of operations, but they do not have the power to stop Iran’s aviation industry,” he said.

The Trump administration on Tuesday imposed a new round of sanctions on Iran’s aviation sector as part of its broader pressure campaign against Tehran. The measures target 27 Iranian airlines and nine service providers and sales agents accused by Washington of providing services to Mahan Air, a privately owned Iranian carrier that has been under US sanctions since 2011 over allegations of supporting the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).

The newly sanctioned service providers and sales agents are based in Turkey, Malaysia, Kazakhstan and the United Arab Emirates.
