US Sanctions Remaining Iranian Airlines and Aviation-Linked Entities to Increase Economic Pressure
The US government has imposed sanctions on 36 entities linked to Iran's aviation sector, including all remaining Iranian airlines and supporting companies from countries like the UAE, Turkey, Malaysia, and Kazakhstan. These measures, part of the Operation Economic Outcast campaign, aim to sever Tehran's financial connections and prevent the use of its aviation industry for transporting weapons, personnel, and illicit cargo. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned that businesses dealing with these airlines risk exclusion from the global financial system.
