Turkey has seized a plane belonging to the airline Iranian Airlines over millions in unpaid debts, as a result of which Iranian passengers were left stranded.
The seizure came a week after the United States imposed secondary sanctions on Iran's aviation sector. After that, airports and airlines across the region began cancelling flights to and from Iran.
