Iran official calls US sanctions on 27 airlines ‘economic terrorism’

Iran is reframing aviation sanctions as a legal and humanitarian matter by taking the case to the UN Security Council, rather than treating it as a purely bilateral dispute. That shift matters because it puts the sanctions' civilian impact on record in a multilateral forum, even though the Council's response is likely to be shaped by the same political divisions that have stalled other Iran-related files. The open question is whether this letter produces any formal UN action or remains a rhetorical escalation.
