The US Treasury has imposed sweeping new sanctions on Iran's aviation sector. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Reuters.
The sanctions target Iran's air transport and aim to restrict financial operations related to the country's aviation infrastructure. This move is seen as part of escalating US pressure on Iran.
According to Reuters, the new restrictions will affect Iran's aviation industry. The full list of sanctions and their scope have not yet been published.
This is one of the largest sanctions measures taken by the US against Iran in recent years. The US authorities view Iran's aviation sector as a threat to international security.
Experts believe these sanctions will make it harder for Iranian airlines to purchase new aircraft and spare parts, potentially significantly impacting the country's civil aviation.
According to a Reuters source, the sanctions apply to several companies and individuals in Iran's aviation sector. Information about this has been published on the official website of the US Treasury.
These measures come amid international disputes over Iran's nuclear program. The US accuses Iran of seeking to develop nuclear weapons, while Tehran denies these allegations.
Iranian authorities have not yet officially responded to the new sanctions. However, experts do not rule out that Tehran may take retaliatory measures.
This US step could further escalate tensions with Iran. The international community is closely monitoring the impact of these sanctions on regional stability.
