Iran has warned foreign airlines that they will be banned from flying into its airspace unless they use the term "Persian Gulf" on their in-flight monitors, as opposed to "the Gulf" or "the Arabian Gulf," the BBC reported.
The country's transport minister has given foreign airlines 15 days to change the name. If they fail, they will be prevented from entering Iranian airspace, and if the offense is repeated, foreign airliners will be grounded and refused permission to leave Iran, the report said.
