The United States has imposed sanctions on all remaining Iranian airlines, according to a report Tuesday evening. The exact scope of the new designations and which specific airlines are affected has not yet been detailed.
This move is the latest in a series of US sanctions targeting Iranian aviation and financial networks, following earlier rounds that sanctioned Mahan Air and its support networks in late July, as well as broader sanctions on Iranian oil and petrochemical exports in recent months.
The expansion comes amid a sustained US campaign of economic pressure on the Islamic Republic, including a naval blockade and cancellation of prior oil export authorizations.
