Iran says its passenger jets were refused fuel abroad

"Iran has accused the UK, Germany and the UAE of refusing to provide fuel to Iranian passenger planes.
The allegation came days after the US enacted unilateral sanctions over Iran's nuclear programme, to penalise foreign companies trading with Tehran.
Britain said it was not aware of any refusal to refuel Iranian planes, and Germany stressed there was no ban.
Oil firms contacted by the BBC said they could not comment on individual contracts.
Tehran says its nuclear industry is for peaceful purposes but Western powers fear it is trying to develop a bomb.
"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 Iranian media.
He said the national carrier Iran Air and a private airline, Mahan Air, had both run into refuelling problems.
"Refusing to provide fuel to Iranian passenger planes by these countries is a violation of international conventions," he added."

added - Apparently just one stooge. Guess who?

"From "Britain, Germany, UAE deny refusing fuel to Iran planes" we learn that the German office of Iran Air dismissed reports of service interruptions originating from Tehran, saying "It is not correct," that refueling had continued without interruption; in Great Britain, a government official stated
"At present Her Majesty's Government is not aware of any occasions when fuel has been refused in the UK."
And a Dubai airport spokesman said Iranian planes were still able to refuel. "Iranian planes travelling to and from Dubai through Dubai International Airport still enjoy the refueling service," he said.
The General Civil Aviation Authority which oversees the sector in the UAE, of which Dubai is a member, said it did not have information of any such ban on Iranian planes.

But here's where it gets interesting: "a source close to the aviation sector in the UAE" said there were problems with one international supplier of jet-fuel:
"A servicing company which provides fueling at several airports around the world has refused to provide Iranian planes with fuel, including at UAE terminals," he said."The Iranian air operators have alternative sources for refueling at UAE airports," he added, requesting anonymity.
Which servicing company could that be?
From "BP Asks Europe Ops Not To Refuel Iranian Airlines:"
BP PLC (BP, BP.LN) has instructed its European operations not to refuel Iranian airlines after U.S. President Barack Obama signed sanctions targeting Iran's gasoline supplies, people familiar with the matter said Monday.
The document ordered a ban on refueling for several Iranian airlines, including Iran Air, the people said. "It's due to a decision from the U.S. Congress," one person said.
But not all non-U.S. companies have decided to enforce the sanctions when it comes to refueling. A spokesman for Dubai's airport told AFP on Monday that Iranian passenger planes are still able to refuel at the airport."
