US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has warned that businesses working with sanctioned Iranian airlines risk facing US sanctions.
In a post on X, Bessent described the warning as part of a campaign to apply economic pressure on Iran during the ongoing war.
“Doing business with sanctioned Iranian airlines risks exposure to US sanctions,” he stated.
Bessent called on foreign governments to take “all actions necessary” to ensure that companies in their jurisdictions do not provide services to those aircraft.
This includes the provision of jet fuel, catering, landing fees, or maintenance.
“The Treasury will impose maximum pressure on Iran and will not hesitate to act against any third parties that facilitate or conduct business with Iranian entities,” Bessent said in a statement.
