The United States has imposed sanctions on all remaining active Iranian airlines, intensifying pressure on Tehran's aviation sector as part of a broader effort to isolate the country from international trade and finance. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the aviation sector is used by the Iranian government to transport weapons, personnel, and illicit cargo.
