TEHRAN— Iran’s High Council for Human Rights has condemned Washington’s latest sanctions targeting the country’s aviation sector, warning that restrictions on access to aircraft parts, equipment, and technical services could have consequences that extend beyond trade and directly affect flight safety and human life.
The High Council for Human Rights of the Islamic Republic of Iran (HCHR) has emphasized that US sanctions targeting the country’s aviation sector are not merely economic or commercial measures; rather, they directly affect human safety, health, and lives.
An Iranian academic has said that secondary sanctions targeting Iran’s aviation sector could violate fundamental principles of international law and undermine countries’ obligations under international agreements.
