London: Iranian expatriates in Europe have launched an electronic petition to express their protest against the European Union and British government's sanctions on Iran Air. The petition highlights the significant disruption these sanctions cause for passengers wishing to travel to Tehran to visit family and friends. According to Islamic Republic News Agency, the petition, which is available on the Change Institute's website, states that Iranian nationals in Europe are deeply concerned about the EU and UK's decision to sanction Iran Air. The petition emphasizes that hundreds of thousands of passengers rely on the airline for their journeys to Tehran each year. The new sanctions have made it challenging for passengers, especially the elderly and those with disabilities, to travel without resorting to lengthy and inconvenient transit arrangements. The petition urges European authorities to reconsider their stance on the sanctions, stressing the importance of allowing Iran Air to operate in Europe for the ben efit of over a million passengers affected by the embargo. The Iranian expatriates are appealing for a reevaluation of the decision in hopes of facilitating smoother travel for those wishing to maintain connections with their homeland.
