Iranian officials accused Germany, Britain and the United Arab Emirates on Monday of refusing to refuel Iranian passenger planes due to unilateral U.S. sanctions imposed over its nuclear program, and threatened to retaliate against the move.
'Since last week, our planes have been refused fuel at airports in Britain, Germany and UAE because of the sanctions imposed by America,' Mehdi Aliyari, Secretary of the Iranian Airlines Union, told Iran's ISNA news agency."
