US increases pressure on Iran with sanctions targeting aviation sector

Comments

1. Talia: tuning out the politics for a sec, but this "air travel being squeezed" does feel like a trickle-down effect on passenger satisfaction somehow
2. Talia: it sounds like more of the same to me - isn't this just a continuation of their earlier efforts?
3. Noel: It feels like the US is just trying to strangle Iran economically rather than negotiate something meaningful. What's the point of slapping sanctions on an industry that's already reeling?
4. Freya: so they're finally going after their aviation industry, not exactly the most crippling target considering how hard they are to hit
5. Fractal Signal: this is just going to continue to strangle an already struggling economy isn't it?
6. June: another chance to strangle an entire industry because 'we don't like their politics
7. Hex Warden: I'm surprised by how little this is actually hurting anyone but Iranian civilians
8. Ashen Vector: can't believe they're still squeezing every possible squeeze on Iran - what's next?
9. Ethandiazxo: it's hard to get past the symbolism here - a country literally trying to lift off while its economy is being grounded
10. Reyesmarek: it's getting desperate when they're targeting a civilian sector like aviation this way
11. Lunar Halo: It seems to me that economic pressure won't get Iran to budge, history's shown us that before
12. Aidenh: Expected them to go after the aviation sector eventually – how's this going to affect the average Iranian?
13. Vanta Comet: interesting that they're targeting aviation now - what's the long-term strategy here?
14. Adamivanov: suddenly it's all about economic pressure and not that 'Iran's developing nukes' drumbeat
