US President Donald Trump said he is in the process of making a Trump decision on Iran, adding that \u201csomething big\u201d could happen very soon. The remarks point to a new escalation in Washington\u2019s rhetoric toward Tehran.<\/p>\n
In a separate move, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that all Iranian airlines will stop operating worldwide starting Wednesday, marking another step in Washington\u2019s pressure campaign against Iran.<\/p>\n
Trump said the current options include \u201cwiping out Iran,\u201d letting it \u201crot economically,\u201d or reaching a deal, without giving details about the decision he is preparing to make.<\/p>\n
The comments reflect the continued strain in US-Iran relations, with political and economic pressure on Tehran intensifying and no clear sign of a near-term breakthrough.<\/p>\n
Bessent said all Iranian airlines will stop operating across the world from Wednesday, September 23.<\/p>\n
He did not provide further details on how the measure would be enforced or which carriers would be directly affected, but the announcement adds another layer to the sanctions pressure targeting Iran\u2019s aviation and trade links.<\/p>\n
The latest move comes as Washington keeps up its broader campaign against Iran, using sanctions and other restrictions to limit the country\u2019s economic and transport activity. Iranian airlines are among the sectors often hit by US and international measures linked to the nuclear file and regional tensions.<\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s remarks also add a sharper political edge, suggesting that the US administration may soon take a decision with wider consequences for Iran.<\/p>\n
Any further restrictions on Iranian aviation could affect travel, trade, and communications between Iran and several countries in the region and beyond, especially as the Iranian economy remains under heavy pressure.<\/p>\n
If Washington moves ahead with additional steps, tensions could rise further and deepen concerns about a new phase of escalation between the two sides.<\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s comments and the US Treasury announcement suggest that the Iran file is entering a more sensitive phase, with Washington sending firm political and economic signals. While the exact form of the expected decision remains unclear, the move against Iranian airlines shows that pressure on Tehran is continuing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
