title: "Iranian flight lands in China despite US sanctions threat"
description: "Most outlets reported that an Iranian Mahan Air flight landed in southern China, citing tracking data or websites, and noted the timing coincided with U.S. threats to sanction Iranian carriers and businesses. Some mentions included the specific city of Guangzhou and the name of the airline, while others framed the landing more generally. The emphasis was largely on the successful landing amid the U.S. warning, with no additional details on reactions or consequences provided in the excerpts."
