The U.S. government is hitting Iran with new, strict rules. They are targeting the country's airline industry. This means it will be much harder for Iranian airlines to get parts, services, or support from companies around the world.
Officials say these moves are part of a larger plan to put more pressure on the Iranian government. By making it hard for their airlines to operate, the U.S. hopes to limit how the regime moves people and cargo.
Some reports suggest that even airlines which were already under watch have been finding ways around old rules. These new sanctions are meant to close those loopholes.
This is a big step to isolate Iran's aviation sector from the rest of the world. It is the latest move in a long-standing economic campaign by the United States to change how Iran behaves on the world stage.
