US Embargo on Iranian Airlines to Commence Tomorrow

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has asserted that Iranian commercial airlines will be shut down worldwide on 23 September 2026. He stated that the US will impose sanctions on any parties that continue to serve Iranian airlines.

“On 23 September, all Iranian airlines will be closed across the globe,” Bessent said during an interview with CNBC on Monday (2/21/2026).

He added that international hubs that continue to service Iranian aircraft will face total exclusion from the American banking system.
