Bessent Says Iranian Airlines Will Shut Down Amid Sanctions
The U.S. Treasury Department announced sanctions on all remaining Iranian airlines earlier this month.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that all Iranian airlines will face a global shutdown on September 23rd due to U.S. sanctions targeting Iran’s aviation sector. Foreign entities providing services to these airlines will be subject to secondary sanctions and risk being removed from the dollar system.
