TLDR
A post citing CBS News says the UAE grounded all Iranian airlines, while Turkey and Oman shut out Mahan Air. It also describes banking restrictions imposed by the UAE and Turkey.
The post quotes Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent saying teams he dispatched worldwide had demanded action against Iran and that those efforts were “delivering results.” But it also says Mahan Air was still flying cargo from China to Tehran at double its prewar rate in September 2026.
