US Treasury Blacklists 27 Iranian Airlines Amid Boeing 777 Procurement

The US Department of the Treasury has imposed sanctions on 27 Iranian airlines, effectively blacklisting all of the nation's active commercial carriers. This move is part of a broader policy framework established on August 24, 2026.

The action targets every remaining active commercial airline operating within Iran, including prominent entities such as Iran Aseman Airlines and Qeshm Air.

The sanctions aim to prevent state-backed entities from using civil aviation networks to move military hardware and sanctioned items. The US Treasury's blacklisting of 27 Iranian airlines represents an unprecedented effort to isolate Tehran's air transport capabilities.
