Amid geopolitical tensions, various airlines have adjusted their flight routes, with some rerouting, delaying, or canceling flights passing through Iranian airspace. Notably, major international carriers like Air France, KLM, and Lufthansa have either suspended or reduced operations to Israel and key Gulf destinations due to security concerns. Additionally, the US has imposed new sanctions targeting entities and vessels involved in transporting Iranian petroleum and petroleum products, including liquefied petroleum gas.
