American Treasury Secretary: 80-90% of Iran's foreign flights have been frozen

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant, in an interview with Fox News published on the morning of Thursday, October 2, Iran time, mentioned the suspension of the flights of several Iranian planes following the imposition of sanctions on them and said: "Today, I can say that probably more than 80 or 90 percent of Iran's representative flights have been stopped in their united country. I'm not sure how they return to the nation of Iran."

The plane piloted by Masoud Pazhkian stopped at Al Jazeera Airport on its way to New York, and the Fars news agency, which is close to the Revolutionary Guards, wrote about it: "During this stop, fuel and some matters related to aviation were investigated."

The US Department of the Treasury previously announced that in order to exert economic pressure on Iran in a program called "Operation Economic Exclusion", the international activity of Iranian airlines will be suspended by applying secondary sanctions starting October 1.
