Iran withdrew 41 passenger aircraft citing safety concerns, specifically possible engine defects on McDonnell Douglas aircraft, after security authorities warned the Iranian civil aviation authority of a high risk in operating them.
Sara Fallah, a member of the national security commission, criticized airlines for a commercial focus; the US government recently imposed new sanctions on the Iranian aviation sector, and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent threatened countries in September with exclusion from the US dollar system if they supply fuel, ground services or tickets to Iranian airlines.
