FM Urges EU to Lift Ban on Iranian Airlines
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Referring to the Ukrainian president’s admission that no Iranian missiles have been delivered to Russia, Foreign Minister of Iran Abbas Araqchi called on the EU to lift a ban on Iranian airlines that has been imposed on the basis of unfounded claims.
“The EU recently targeted ordinary Iranians and other travelers by banning our airlines from Europe. It did so on the basis of the false and unfounded claim that Iran has delivered ballistic missiles to Russia for use in Ukraine,” Araqchi said in a post on his X account on Tuesday.
“Now, even (Ukrainian) President Zelensky himself has explicitly stated that no Iranian missiles have been delivered to Russia,” he added.
“High time for the EU to end this farce. The targeting of ordinary Iranians based on thin air is immoral and plain wrong. It must be immediately reversed,” Araqchi stated.
