Iranian passenger plane skids off runway

Caspian Airlines’ Boeing 737-400 passenger plane, coming from Mashad in Iran, skidded off the runway after landing at Isfahan Airport due to a technical malfunction in the landing gear. The wheels were broken after landing at the airport, which caused the plane to skid off the runway, authorities said. There were 110 passengers on board the plane, and five of them were slightly injured in the stampede during emergency evacuation.

Iran is unable to meet the technical maintenance and spare parts needs of passenger planes due to US sanctions.

EU Warns US Tariffs Could Trigger De Facto Trade Ban

0

EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic warned that a proposed 30% US tariff on European goods would effectively amount to a trade ban, severely disrupting transatlantic supply chains.

Speaking ahead of the EU Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels, Sefcovic expressed disappointment over a letter from US President Donald Trump that halted expected trade progress. “We were close to an agreement,” he said, but now “must prepare for all outcomes.”

The EU has delayed retaliatory measures on $72 billion worth of US goods until August 1, hoping for a negotiated resolution. Sefcovic emphasized that “no one wants a trade war,” while France urged faster preparation for countermeasures and Hungary blamed the EU Commission’s weak response to US pressure.

Danish and Lithuanian ministers echoed calls to avoid escalation but emphasized EU readiness to defend its interests.
