Narrative:
Initial check in with muscat control prior to lotav. Received radar contact shortly thereafter. Prior to fix golni we were questioned as to our routing. I read back the filed flight plan route that we were following. The same route that was on the release. Which was also verified prior to departure ZZZZ. Muscat stated this was an illegal route and was very dangerous. He then issued a complete new routing. Lotav M300 […] emuru P570 itura M762 vaxas direct zzzzz. As we were approaching velod on M762; we were asked if we were authorized to operate in the airspace. He then offered a radar vector. Unsure of whether we had authorization I took the offer for a radar vector that kept us over land. After handoff with uae control the rest of flight was uneventful. In regards to the heightened tensions in the area and new FAA requirements; this was very troubling. This is a very sensitive area and needs to be looked at with much greater scrutiny. This needs to be resolved quickly. Before anything worse than a scolding occurs.

As we were approaching VELOD on M762; we were asked if we were authorized to operate in the airspace. He then offered a radar vector. Unsure of whether we had authorization I took the offer for a radar vector that kept us over land. After handoff with UAE control the rest of flight was uneventful. In regards to the heightened tensions in the area and new FAA requirements; this was very troubling. This is a very sensitive area and needs to be looked at with much greater scrutiny. This needs to be resolved quickly. Before anything worse than a scolding occurs.
