The United Arab Emirates has barred Iranian airlines as US sanctions squeeze Iran's aviation sector, the article reports.

Authorities enacted the prohibitions to comply with intense foreign financial pressure.

Reuters reported that three Iraqi airports would suspend Iranian flights starting Friday.

The article lists suspended routes, heavier oversight of foreign carriers, and more compliance checks at airports.

Additional airports have begun similar suspensions to avoid regulatory penalties, the piece says.

Tehran has strongly criticized the measures and warned regional airports that comply with the US flight ban.

A WSJ report cited says Iran, already squeezed at sea, now faces new restrictions on its flights.

Analysts expect continued turbulence as carriers adapt and more airports review partnerships.
