US Threatens Secondary Sanctions, Warning Iranian Airlines Could Be Grounded Globally

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned that Iranian airlines could face global grounding from this week due to threatened secondary sanctions.

Foreign companies servicing Iranian carriers risk being excluded from the dollar system if they continue operations, potentially shutting down all Iranian airlines internationally.

Several countries, including Iraq and Turkey, have already begun suspending flights by Iranian airlines following the U.S. Treasury's announcement.
