Bessent threatens sanctions on Iranian airlines

The United States has warned it will shut down all Iranian airlines starting September 23 due to the ongoing Middle East conflict. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that this move will target fueling, landing services, and ticketing operations for Iranian airlines. He explained that the US is applying pressure on Iran like never before and will push the country out of the dollar system if any of these services are provided.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrived in New York to represent Iran at the UN General Assembly session, where he will discuss various items on the agenda and meet with officials. Iran has also warned it will change the geography of the war and use weapons it has not yet deployed if the conflict escalates.
