United States Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced on Monday that Iranian airlines will face severe global operational restrictions within two days due to mounting American sanctions. Speaking as part of the Trump administration's broader campaign to intensify pressure on Tehran, Bessent stated that the measures will effectively halt the international operations of Iranian carriers by September 23.

The enforcement of these sanctions represents a significant escalation in economic measures by the United States against Iran. By targeting the aviation sector specifically, the administration aims to severely restrict the global mobility and logistical capabilities of Iranian carriers under the weight of renewed financial pressure.
