Two Iraqi government sources told Agence France-Presse on Monday, September 30, that Baghdad would suspend the flights of Iranian airlines following the announcement by the US Treasury Secretary that the Iranian airlines approved for them would be "saved" worldwide within two days.

One of the senior Iraqi officials said: "Iraq will implement the ban on Iranian airlines from Tuesday morning, in accordance with the decision of the US Treasury."

This official warned: "Countries that do not implement this decision will be subject to sanctions."

Another government source also confirmed these statements.

The American Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessant, announced an hour ago that all Iranian airlines "will be closed worldwide" starting September 23 (October 1) and companies that do not implement this restriction will be removed from the dollar financial system. 🔸 The US Treasury Secretary's reference to the application of secondary sanctions on all Iranian airlines is in the form of an economic pressure campaign on Iran, known as "Operation Economic Exclusion".
