United States Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has issued a stern warning that all Iranian airlines will be barred from international travel starting September 23. If foreign entities continue to provide services to Iran's carriers, they will face severe consequences, including being cut off from the US financial system. Bessent stated that foreign airlines will not be able to receive fuel, landing services, or ticket sales, effectively shutting them down globally.
The warning extends to fuel suppliers, ticketing companies, and other businesses supporting Iran's aviation operations. This comes amid the US administration's intensified economic pressure on Iran, targeting various sectors, including energy, shipping, technology, gold, and digital assets. Secondary sanctions aim to restrict foreign businesses' access to the US financial system, potentially exposing them to limitations in transactions.
