Iran Condemns US Air Travel Restrictions as Economic Terrorism

Iran's Fars News Agency issued a statement on October 2, 2026, accusing the United States of using air travel restrictions as a tool of economic warfare. The statement specifically called the measures 'economic terrorism' and claimed they would have a severe impact on Iran's international trade and financial systems. The US has not publicly responded to the allegations, though the restrictions have been in place for several months as part of broader sanctions against Iran.
