US sanctions target 27 Iranian airlines
The United States has imposed sanctions on 27 Iranian airlines and several related entities in an attempt to isolate the Iranian economy. The measures primarily target companies that had not previously been subject to sanctions. This move comes amid escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, where commercial shipping has been impacted, significantly affecting global oil prices. Brent crude futures have surpassed $99 per barrel, and West Texas Intermediate futures have risen by about 2%. Additionally, attacks by the Iran-backed Houthi group on energy facilities in Saudi Arabia have increased, leading to the suspension of some operations and impacting global energy market stability. Meanwhile, the effects on the Iranian economy remain uncertain at this time.
