Scott Bessent said the U.S. will sanction businesses that provide services to
sanctioned Iranian airlines as commercial flights resume from Tehran. He warned
companies offering fuel, maintenance, or airport services risk penalties, and
urged foreign governments to prevent such support. The U.S. Department of the
Treasury will maintain "maximum pressure" on Iran, targeting third parties
facilitating activity. Iran has restarted some flights to regional destinations,
while Washington expands enforcement actions under its “Economic Fury”
initiative.
