Scott Basset, the U.S. Treasury Secretary, wrote in a message on X on Thursday that the United States will "stop both Iranian airlines from accessing landing sites, refueling, and ticket sales" in an effort to increase pressure on Tehran and keep the Strait of Hormuz open, but did not provide further details or mention the names of the two companies.

Scott Basset emphasized that the U.S. continues its campaign of "economic wrath" against the Iranian government, stating on X that the Islamic Republic's forces are not receiving salaries, police are not showing up for work, and Khark Island is shut down, with Iran's economy and currency value in free fall.
He added that the Strait of Hormuz management organization is a joke by the Islamic Republic and that today the Treasury Department has sanctioned it. We have warned any corporate or governmental entity about paying fees or hiding them as aid.
Basset further noted that with the establishment of a "steel wall," the U.S. maritime blockade has caused Iran's crude oil levels at sea to reach their lowest historical point.
He stressed that only one satisfactory outcome in negotiations will stop this downward trend.
