New U.S. Ambo Asks Germany: Stop Iranian Airline From Use of Airspace |
2018-06-21 |
[JP] The new US ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell, requested the German government to block Iran’s Mahan Air from flying within German airspace and deny it landing rights in the country because of the airline’s material support for terrorism. In a meeting last week with a senior delegation from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), Grenell said: "Here in Germany, I have asked the German government to support our efforts to stop an airline called Mahan Air from utilizing German airspace and airports. We know that Mahan Air has been used by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps [IRGC] as a mode of transport for weapons, resources and fighters, so we’re asking our allies to help us put a stop to it." |
