US imposes new sanctions on Iran targeting airlines

The administration of US President Donald Trump has imposed new sanctions on Iran, targeting an individual and more than 30 entities, including several airlines, in a move aimed at increasing pressure on Iran’s aviation sector.

The US Treasury Department published details of the new sanctions on Tuesday on its official website, as part of measures designed to restrict Iran’s economic and logistical capabilities.

The aviation sector is among the most affected by this latest round of sanctions, which targeted several companies operating in the industry, in addition to more than 30 entities and one individual.

These new sanctions represent the latest step by the Trump administration in its ongoing pressure campaign against Iran, with a clear focus on the aviation sector as a key part of the country’s infrastructure.

Through these measures, the United States continues to tighten restrictions on targeted Iranian entities amid ongoing tensions over Iran’s policies and Washington’s stance toward them.
