The U.S. Treasury Department has sanctioned every civilian airline in the Islamic Republic of Iran as part of 'Operation Economic Outcast,' targeting at least 27 entities, according to The Zioneer.
The U.S. Treasury Department has sanctioned every civilian airline in the Islamic Republic of Iran, targeting at least 27 entities as part of 'Operation Economic Outcast,' The Zioneer reports Tuesday evening.
The move broadens the measures reported earlier Tuesday (15:25 Jerusalem), which imposed sanctions on all remaining Iranian airlines and on 27 foreign airlines providing services to Iranian carriers. The latest round directly targets Iran's entire civilian aviation sector, severing the regime's access to international air travel and logistics.
'Operation Economic Outcast' is the Trump administration's ongoing campaign to isolate Iran from the global financial system. As The Zioneer reported on September 4, the European Union joined the operation, expanding the first wave to nearly 60 individuals, entities, and vessels involved in oil smuggling and sanctions evasion. Earlier measures under the campaign have included orders to close Bank Melli branches worldwide and ultimatums to nations aiding Tehran.
