U.S. to shut down all Iranian airlines from Sept. 23, Bessent says

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC all Iranian airlines will be shut down from Sept. 23 by barring fuel, landing services and ticket sales, with violators cut from the dollar system. Washington is pressuring Iran as never before; last week it sanctioned Russia's VTB Bank. UK PM Andy Burnham said RAF planes will refuel Saudi aircraft against Iranian-backed Houthis for weeks after Trump refused Riyadh help.
