Source: NDTV · 24 Sep 2026, 09:32 UTC

Iranian airlines have cancelled international flights as the United States tightens sanctions, according to NDTV. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the new measures on Monday, describing them as part of an effort to pressure Iran after nearly seven months of war.

Iranian airlines have cancelled international flights as the United States introduces tighter sanctions against Iran, according to NDTV. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the new measures on Monday. The report said they formed part of an earlier threat to impose what it called “economic D-Day” on Iran.

The stated aim of the pressure campaign was to force Iran into submission following nearly seven months of war. The supplied material does not specify which airlines cancelled flights, how many services were affected or which destinations were involved. It also does not detail the sanctions, identify the legal measures used to impose them or provide a response from the Iranian government or the airlines.

The available information links the flight cancellations to the new US pressure but does not establish how long the disruption will last or whether the services will resume.
