The US Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on 27 airlines that provide services to Iranian carriers, targeting companies in the UAE, Turkey, Britain, and Oman, as part of a new phase of its 'Operation Economic Isolation' against Iran, The Zioneer reports. Any company that enables the operation of Iranian airlines now faces exposure to US sanctions.
The move follows a previous round of sanctions announced earlier Tuesday, in which the Treasury imposed sanctions on all remaining Iranian airlines. According to The Zioneer's archive, the Treasury has been steadily tightening restrictions on Iranian aviation networks in recent weeks, including sanctions on Mahan Air support networks and oil tankers linked to Iran. The latest action signals a widening of the economic pressure campaign to include foreign companies that facilitate Iranian aviation operations.
