US treasury chief says businesses working with Iranian airlines risk sanctions

The U.S. warned that businesses working with Iranian airlines risk U.S. sanctions, signaling tighter enforcement amid the U.S. and Israel's war against Tehran. The statement underscores continued economic pressure on Iran and raises compliance risk for firms with exposure to Iranian aviation. Market impact is likely limited to affected counterparties but could be meaningful for sanctions-sensitive trade and transportation links.
