Washington Targets Iran's Aviation Sector Over Weapons Transport
The United States Department of the Treasury has sanctioned 27 Iranian airlines and related foreign firms, targeting the country’s aviation sector over its role in supporting the Iranian regime’s destabilising activities. The sanctions aim to curb weapons transport and technology access, and the Treasury Department has also suspended authorisations for overflights and US-origin aircraft operations in Iran. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian responded by stating that the nation will continue its resistance with strength until the aggressors are brought to complete regret. The sanctions were reported by various news outlets, including The Economic Times.
