The Trump administration is weighing new comprehensive sanctions that would ban Iranian airlines globally, according to analysts tracking US policy developments. The move would represent a significant escalation of economic pressure on Iran at a time when millions of Iranians are already struggling with the effects of severe economic sanctions and currency collapse. Experts warn that such sweeping restrictions would worsen the humanitarian situation for ordinary Iranians who depend on air travel and connectivity. The proposed sanctions reflect the administration's hardline stance toward Iran and would further tighten the economic noose around the Islamic Republic, potentially complicating any diplomatic channels Pakistan and other regional mediators are attempting to maintain.
