In a recent announcement, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent declared that the United States will take steps to restrict Iranian airlines from accessing landing spots, refueling services, and ticket sales. This initiative is part of a broader economic campaign against the Iranian government, which Bessent claims is facing severe economic challenges, with the Iranian economy and currency reportedly in free fall. He emphasized that negotiations are necessary to reverse this trend. Bessent also criticized Iran's Persian Gulf Strait Authority, labeling it ineffective and detailing new counterterrorism sanctions against it. Furthermore, he warned Oman against any attempts to implement a tolling system in the Strait of Hormuz, stating that the US will aggressively target any parties involved in facilitating such tolls. This warning follows President Trump's recent threats directed at Oman, indicating a tense geopolitical climate in the region.
