Expansive Sanctions Target Civilian Airlines and Aviation Industry
The US Department of the Treasury has announced a series of sanctions targeting Iran’s civil aviation sector, including the suspension of general licenses for aviation-related transactions and the designation of 36 targets for supporting Iran’s aviation sector. The move is part of the US government’s ‘Operation Economic Outcast’ and aims to restrict Iran’s access to the global aviation market. The sanctions may have significant implications for airlines, aircraft owners, and financial institutions with ties to Iran’s aviation sector, as reported by JD Supra.
