The US is turning up the pressure on Iran, and this time, the target is its aviation network. From September 23, foreign companies that continue providing services to Iranian airlines could face US secondary sanctions, potentially putting their access to the US dollar financial system at risk. The measures could affect airports, fuel suppliers, ground-handling companies, ticketing firms and other businesses supporting Iranian carriers. Iran’s airlines are already struggling under years of US sanctions that have restricted access to aircraft, spare parts and maintenance. Now, Washington is targeting the wider ecosystem that keeps Iranian carriers operating internationally. Mahan Air has already suspended international services to destinations including Istanbul, Ankara and Muscat, while the US has expanded sanctions targeting Iran’s aviation sector. But there is another major factor: China. Beijing has rejected what it calls illegal unilateral sanctions and remains one of Tehran’s key economic and diplomatic partners. Could the latest US measures effectively isolate Iranian airlines from the global aviation system? And how will international companies respond? Gursshheen Gahllen brings you the full story on Firstpost Live.
