US threatens sanctions for companies providing services to Iranian airlines

US threatens sanctions for companies providing services to Iranian airlines US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned that companies providing services to Iranian airlines could face sanctions under what he called “Economic Fury”, as the United States intensifies pressure on Iran. “Foreign governments should take all actions necessary to ensure that companies in their jurisdictions do not provide services to those aircraft, including the provision of jet fuel, catering, landing fees or maintenance,” Bessent said in a post on X. Bessent added that Washington “will impose maximum pressure on Iran and will not hesitate to act against any third parties that facilitate or conduct business with Iranian entities”.
