What happened

Well supportedReported by 38 independent outlets

A war between Iran and Israel began on June 1, 2026, following a joint US-Israeli attack on Iran on June 15, 2026, which escalated into Lebanon. In response to the conflict, the United States began extending pressure on Iran by threatening foreign companies that provide services to Iranian airlines with sanctions. These new aviation restrictions are designed to reinforce the broader effort to choke off Iran’s international trade routes.
