US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has warned airports and companies against providing services to Iranian aircraft, according to a report by Premium Times. Bessent said organisations that supply fuel, landing services or ticket sales to Iranian planes would be “knocked out of the dollar system”. The report attributes the warning directly to the US official.
The supplied material does not provide further details about the policy, including whether the warning applies to particular aircraft, routes, airports or companies. It also does not state whether any organisation has already been penalised. The report gives no additional information about the circumstances behind the warning or the response from Iran, airports, airlines or other governments.
It does, however, describe the measure as a threat aimed at restricting services to Iranian aircraft through access to the US dollar system.
