Iran has filed a complaint Monday with the United Nations aviation agency over US restrictions targeting the country’s airlines, the head of Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization said on Monday.
“To defend the legitimate rights of the aviation industry and counter illegal restrictions imposed by America, Iran has drafted and submitted a formal protest to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO),” Abouzar Shiroudi said, according to Iran’s state news agency IRNA, AFP reported.
