Iran’s UN envoy, Gholamhossein Darzi, has formally condemned recent United States sanctions targeting the Iranian aviation sector. In a letter addressed to the United Nations Security Council, Darzi characterized the measures as an act of "economic terrorism" and accused the U.S. of engaging in collective punishment against the Iranian population.

The diplomatic protest follows the implementation of new restrictions intended to limit Iran's aviation capabilities. The Iranian government maintains that these sanctions unfairly disrupt civilian infrastructure and violate international norms, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing geopolitical tensions between Tehran and Washington.
