It’s good to see the sanctions are working though 🙂

Yes, thats all very well, but remember, the crews and other staff who work in these airlines for their living, are not responsible for the politics of the Iranian regime. I’m quite sure that like me, you’re not deriving any satisfaction from the plight of these crews and their passengers, flying on these dated, and due to the sanctions, potentially dangerous aircraft every day. Sanctions are fine when correctly targeted. Sadly, there’s always the innocent that get caught up in them, and personally, I would put civilian aircrew and their passengers firmly in that category.
