Rome, Sept. 27 (LaPresse) – “Following the launch of Operation Economic Outcast, the Treasury Department imposed targeted financial measures on banks and service providers in the aviation sector. Teams were sent around the world to engage with various countries and urge them to take action against the Iranian regime. These efforts are bearing fruit, as Turkey and Oman have suspended Mahan Air flights to their countries. The United Arab Emirates have suspended all flights by Iranian airlines, and major commercial banks in the UAE and Turkey have also suspended transactions with Iran. The Iranian leadership has recognized the economic cost of the war.” This was stated by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Twitter. “The value of the Iranian currency has fallen to record lows. I appreciate the actions taken by the governments of the United Kingdom, Turkey, Oman and the United Arab Emirates, and we will continue to work together. There is still much to be done to prevent Tehran from pursuing its terrorist program,” Bessent stressed.
