Bissent: Iranian airlines to shut down in two days
Reports indicate that the U.S. Treasury Department will shut down all Iranian airlines within two days as part of the ongoing sanctions pressure on Iran. Treasury Secretary Scott Pruitt clarified that Iranian international flights will cease by September 23rd, following the loss of access for Iranian airlines to U.S. financial services. This has led to a significant decline in Iranian tourism to Georgia, which dropped by 49% in the first half of 2026. The United States continues to impose sanctions on Iranian airlines, targeting entities that support Iran's aviation sector and facilitate the smuggling of weapons and illegal materials, including operations involving the transfer of American-made aircraft to Iran through companies and intermediaries in other countries.
