US Escalates Sanctions on Iran's Aviation and Digital Finance Networks

The US Treasury has significantly escalated its 'maximum pressure' campaign against Iran, targeting third-country intermediaries supporting Mahan Air in the UAE and Turkey, and expanding sanctions to Iranian cryptocurrency platforms linked to sanctions evasion and maritime payments.

The operational impact on Iran's broader financial system and the volume of illicit funds remains unclear.
