US Sanctions 27 Iranian Airlines and Foreign Firms Targeting Aviation Sector
The US Treasury Department imposed sanctions on 27 Iranian airlines and 36 related entities, including foreign firms in Turkey, the UAE, Malaysia, and Kazakhstan, as part of Operation Economic Outcast. The sanctions target Iran's aviation sector, which the US alleges supports the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps by transporting weapons, personnel, and illicit cargo. The measures also suspend authorizations for overflights and use of US-origin aircraft, aiming to further isolate Iran's aviation industry and disrupt its procurement networks.
