U.S. Treasury: Iranian airlines shut down September 23
The U.S. Department of the Treasury announced that all Iranian airlines will cease operations worldwide starting September 23rd, as a result of new sanctions imposed by Washington to tighten the restrictions on the Iranian aviation sector. The measures include preventing Iranian aircraft from obtaining fuel, landing services, and selling tickets, with the potential exclusion of service providers from the U.S. financial system reliant on the dollar. This step is part of a broader campaign to increase economic pressure on Iran, especially after sanctions were imposed on airlines that were not previously targeted, aiming to reduce their financial and commercial capabilities and impact their ability to fund activities. The statements come amid escalating tensions between the United States and Iran, with indications that the sanctions also aim to prevent Iran from engaging with the international financial system and to bolster Washington’s efforts to impose economic pressures on Tehran.
