Scott Best, US Treasury Secretary, said that the world's skies will be closed to all Iranian airlines as of September 23 (October 1).
Almost two weeks ago, the US Department of the Treasury put 27 Iranian airlines on the sanctions list, which will be implemented starting October 1.
Mr. Besant said he did not know how long the standoff with Iran would last, but he said he was discussing Iran sanctions with China.
Since the beginning of September, the US government has announced the economic isolation plan for Iran, targeting the banking and trading, technology, aviation and shipping sectors as primary and secondary sanctions.
