An adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei issues an ultimatum over aviation access, saying Iran would not accept a situation where its airlines are denied flight routes or airport facilities while other countries in the region continue to operate normally. The adviser frames the warning as a response to what he says would be unequal restrictions affecting Iran’s civil aviation.
The statement is reported by NDTV, which cites the adviser’s position that Iran expects reciprocity in any regional air-access arrangements. While the outlet emphasizes the “ultimatum” language, the core claim across the report is that Iran would link its stance on aviation access to the treatment of other regional states. The reporting does not provide additional details such as timelines, specific countries or airports affected, or whether the adviser speaks for an official government policy beyond his advisory role.
Overall, the coverage presents the message as a direct warning about aviation restrictions rather than announcing immediate actions, with the dispute centered on equal access for Iran’s airlines in the region.
