All Iranian airlines could face a worldwide shutdown from September 23, according to US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

Speaking to CNBC about Iran, Bessent said the United States would target Iranian airlines as part of its sanctions measures, potentially affecting their ability to operate and access services internationally.

The announcement comes as Washington continues to tighten economic pressure on Iran.

The move could have wider implications for Iran’s aviation sector and international air connectivity, with further details expected as the September 23 deadline approaches.
