VILNIUS, Lithuania—Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on a trip Aug. 23 to Lithuania, welcomed the decision by major international airlines to end their direct flights to Iran’s capital of Tehran in September.
The decision by British Airways and Air France came after U.S. President Donald Trump withdrew from the nuclear deal between Iran and began restoring U.S. sanctions. The move has been exacerbating a financial crisis in Iran that has sent its currency tumbling.
