US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has told reporters that he does not know how Iranian representatives at the United Nations would return home after U.S. sanctions effectively halted the vast majority of international flights in and out of Iranian airports.
Bessent said that, with an estimated 80% to 90% of international flights from Iran suspended following U.S. secondary sanctions, he could not confirm how Iranian UN delegates would be able to return home.
Note: The United States has warned that any foreign entity providing fuel, landing services, catering, maintenance, or ticketing services to designated Iranian aircraft could be cut off from access to the U.S. dollar financial system.
Bessent reiterated the United States readiness to take aggressive measures against anyone facilitating prohibited aviation activity with Iran.
What’s your view on this? Do you think the Iranian delegation will be able to leave the United States despite the restrictions on international flights to and from Iran?
Do you think the U.S. intends to prevent the Iranian delegation including the president, foreign minister and other senior officials from returning home?
What’s your opinion on this? Do you think Iran delegation will still leave the United States even with the ban on international flights in Iran airport.
Do you think US is planning to hold hostage the Iranian delegation which involves the president, foreign minister and other senior government officials.
