WASHINGTON, Sept 8 (Reuters) – The United States on Tuesday issued 36 fresh Iran-related sanctions targeting Iran‘s aviation sector and other companies as part of a broad push to escalate economic pressure on Tehran as the war in the Middle East entered a seventh month.

The U.S. Treasury Department said the action was aimed at grounding Iran‘s Mahan Air and other Iranian airlines, as well as covert front companies, foreign intermediaries and deceptive trans-shipment routes that Iran relies on to obtain U.S.-origin aircraft and sensitive technology.

The Treasury also issued an alert asking financial institutions to report procurement networks supporting Iran‘s aviation industry, and targeted firms based in Turkey and the United Arab Emirates that it said helped Tehran procure U.S.-origin aircraft and sensitive technology.

”Let this be a warning to anyone doing business with Iran’s remaining airlines, all of which we sanctioned today: You are at risk of being cut off from the global financial system,” U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement.

CAIRO/DUBAI, Sept 8 (Reuters) – Yemen’s Tehran-backed Houthis attacked four cities in the south of U.S. ally Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, wounding more than 70 people and setting oil installations ablaze in what appeared to be a major expansion of the six-month-old Middle East war.

The Houthis, who control most of Yemen’s populated areas including the capital, said they had launched a broad operation deep into Saudi territory. They used drones and missiles to strike a Saudi airbase in the southern city of Khamis Mushait, and targets belonging to Saudi Arabia’s state oil company in nearby Abha, Najran on the Yemeni border, and Jazan, a major Red Sea port city that houses a large refinery and power plant.

NASA satellite images showed a thick cloud of black smoke over the Jazan refinery and a column of white smoke rising from an oil distribution centre in Abha.

Saudi authorities described blazes at the sites and said women and children were among the 73 people hurt. The reports of such large numbers of wounded suggested the attacks were among the biggest carried out against Saudi Arabia since the United States and Israel launched their war against Iran in February.

The Islamic Republic will double the price of gaso

The Islamic Republic will double the price of gasoline consumed beyond 110 litres a month from Sept. 8. That represents a 100 percent increase since the third tier was introduced in December 2025.
“I drive for Snapp. With petrol at 10,000 tomans a litre and such a limited allowance, how am I supposed to carry passengers? You tell us the country is at war and that we must endure—but how much more are people expected to bear?”

By Kayhan Life Staff
Sept. 7 - An academic in Iran has warned that a new wave of nationwide protests is likely to break out because of severe economic conditions, daily price increases, hyperinflation, and extreme social and psychological pressures endured by the population.

In an interview with the Tehran-based Jamaran news website, Dr. Jabbar Rahmani, an associate professor of anthropology at the Institute for Cultural, Social and Civilization Studies (ICSCS) — whose institute operates under the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology — warned: “From a social standpoint, people’s spirits and mental well-being are being damaged every day.”

DUBAI, Sept 7 (Reuters) – Iran threatened on Monday to retaliate against any new U.S. attacks on its assets, warning that energy infrastructure across the Persian Gulf, including U.S. oil and gas interests, was vulnerable.

“Strike our assets and you get struck,” Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said after U.S. and Iranian strikes on shipping at the weekend that pushed oil prices up near six-week highs on Monday.

The latest threat underscores the risks of further escalation after the sides traded blows again at the weekend, with no sign of progress towards a diplomatic breakthrough that could end more than six months of conflict and restore normal energy flows through the Persian Gulf.

Iran has tightened restrictions on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery for global oil and gas supplies, since the war began with U.S. and Israeli strikes on February 28.

On Sunday, senior Iranian security official Mohsen Rezaei said Tehran would soon announce a new restricted zone in the Persian Gulf and unveil a new shipping corridor through the strait.

Rezaei said the zone would begin where a U.S. naval blockade of Iran starts and extend into parts of the Persian Gulf. Any vessel entering the area would be placed on an Iranian sanctions list.

“We will only commit to the Strait of Hormuz being open when they (the Americans) stop the sabotage, threats and attacks on Iran,” Rezaei said.
