Turkey seizes Iranian plane at Istanbul
Turkish authorities seized an Iranian Boeing 737 aircraft belonging to Caspian Airlines at Istanbul Airport due to an outstanding debt of $3.4 million owed to a Turkish company. The aircraft was detained following a legal intervention after it refused to take off. Despite the seizure, Turkish authorities have not connected the incident to the U.S. sanctions imposed on Iranian companies, which Ankara has not responded to yet, despite the U.S. sanctions targeting Iran's aviation sector quite strictly.
