Iranian nationals are now prohibited from entering or transiting through the United Arab Emirates, according to multiple airlines. The restrictions began as the regional war entered its second month.
Emirates, along with other major UAE airlines, announced the policy on Wednesday, stating Iranian citizens are no longer permitted entry or transit through the country.
This decision comes amid escalating tensions and strain on longstanding ties between Iran and the UAE. The restrictions follow Iran’s recent bombardments during the ongoing conflict.
The move impacts travel for Iranian citizens as the war continues to unfold.
