What happened
U.S. President Donald Trump signed legislation extending sanctions against Tehran through 2031, coinciding with Türkiye's Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency revoking the operating license of Iran’s Mellat Bank and its Istanbul branch. Separately, the Central Bank of the UAE imposed strict measures prohibiting Bank Melli Iran's branches in the UAE from conducting financial transactions to or from Iran. Furthermore, US sanctions forced Turkish carriers, including Turkish Airlines and AJet, to cancel flights to and from Iran.
Why it matters
The actions severely restrict Iran's access to international financial systems and trade finance. The combination of regulatory license revocations and sanctions limits market access for Turkish carriers and restricts the import of aircraft components.
Trump seeks to end the war with Iran while the U.S. maintains sanctions and naval blockade.
