根据防御民主基金会分析的航班数据，在美国关键制裁期限过后的五天内，至少有83架由美国制裁的伊朗航空公司运营的航班降落在土耳其，这让外界重新关注华盛顿是否会对这个北约盟友境内为这些航空公司提供服务的企业实施加码施压。
9月28日发布的这份基金会报告称，美国的施压已帮助伊朗航空公司被挤出伊拉克、阿联酋和阿曼等多个地区市场，但发现土耳其仍是华盛顿迫使这些航空公司停飞的努力中的重大缺口。
这份调查结果出炉之际，美国财政部于9月8日宣布对伊朗航空业实施全面新制裁，根据第13902号行政命令将所有剩余的27家活跃伊朗航空公司列入制裁名单。财政部表示，伊朗航空部门曾被用于运输武器、人员和非法货物，并警告外国企业继续为受制裁航空公司提供服务将面临风险。

伊朗航班持续起降之际，恰逢美土关系处于敏感时刻。土耳其是北约盟友，唐纳德·特朗普总统公开强调他与土耳其总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安的密切关系，并暗示有意恢复安卡拉参与F-35战斗机项目的资格。土耳其因购买俄罗斯S-400防空系统被踢出该项目，此举还在2020年引发了美国对土耳其的制裁。
2026年7月特朗普访问土耳其期间表示，他的政府将解除对土制裁，并正考虑允许安卡拉购买F-35战机，尽管与土耳其拥有S-400相关的国会限制仍是障碍。埃尔多安就在9月24日还表示，他期待华盛顿采取“具体步骤”，让土耳其重返该项目。
财政部长斯科特·贝森特警告称，在9月23日的宽限期截止后，为受制裁伊朗航空公司提供燃油或着陆支持等服务的企业，可能会被切断与美国金融体系的联系。防御民主基金会援引贝森特的话称，到该日期，伊朗航空公司将在全球范围内“停摆”。
但基金会研究员艾哈迈德·沙拉维和西南·西迪表示，他们查阅Flightradar24的飞行记录后发现，在该截止日期过后的9月23日至27日期间，至少有83架由受美国制裁的伊朗航空公司运营的航班降落在土耳其境内。报告称，这些航班降落在伊斯坦布尔、安卡拉和伊兹密尔。
研究人员在抵达航班中确认了12家受制裁的伊朗航空公司。伊朗旅游航空和卡斯皮安航空各执飞12次着陆，伊朗航空执飞10次，ATA航空和AVA航空各执飞9次，据基金会统计。飞行数据中确认的12家航空公司中，有8家是财政部在9月8日新列入制裁名单的航空公司。

美国财政部告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，他们一直在直接向土耳其高级官员提及该问题，并已警告土耳其企业和金融机构可能面临的制裁风险。
“在上个月与土耳其高级当局进行富有成效的接触后，这些接触迅速取得了切实成果——包括取消马汉航空的航班以及撤销梅拉特银行的执照，我们继续就土耳其与伊朗的航空联系以及土耳其金融机构和企业为这些航班提供便利所面临的制裁风险展开讨论，”财政部发言人告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“我们已明确说明这些风险，并继续在高层与土耳其政府解决这些问题，”该发言人表示。
这位财政部发言人提及了本届政府更广泛的“经济放逐行动”，称该行动正在取得成效，华盛顿正试图切断伊朗剩余的收入来源和进入国际市场的渠道。“‘经济放逐行动’正在取得成果，财政部和我们的合作伙伴继续切断伊朗政权剩余的经济生命线，”这位发言人说。“伊朗里亚尔已跌至历史低点，伊朗在9月没有装载任何原油油轮，该地区各国都在采取具体措施限制伊朗进入国际金融体系和商业航空领域。”
“我们将继续施加压力，并追究那些为该政权提供维持其恐怖活动所需的金融和商业生命线的责任，”这位发言人补充道。
土耳其确实已采取一些措施限制与伊朗的航空联系。据《土耳其分钟》援引航空公司时刻表和《金融时报》等媒体的报道，土耳其航空、AJet和飞马航空已取消前往伊朗的航班，马汉航空也从9月21日起暂停往返土耳其的航线。
马汉航空自2011年起就受到美国制裁。美国财政部当时表示，该航空公司为伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队圣城旅提供了资金、物资和技术支持。
然而，其他受制裁的伊朗航空公司仍继续飞往土耳其。卡斯皮安航空和梅拉杰航空在2014年8月被财政部列为特别指定全球恐怖主义实体。财政部称，卡斯皮安航空曾向叙利亚运送伊朗革命卫队人员和武器，梅拉杰航空曾向叙利亚政府运送包括武器在内的非法货物。
沙拉维告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，航班持续起降反映出安卡拉采取的公开措施与其处理受制裁伊朗航空公司的实际做法之间存在差距。
“尽管华盛顿明确努力限制受制裁伊朗航空公司的运营，但它们仍继续在土耳其降落，这证明安卡拉愿意采取象征性措施，却对伊朗更广泛的活动视而不见，”沙拉维说。

沙拉维认为，华盛顿可以通过瞄准继续为受制裁伊朗航空公司提供服务的土耳其企业来加大施压力度。
“安卡拉可能认为它可以逃脱惩罚，但华盛顿过去曾毫不犹豫地制裁支持受制裁伊朗实体的土耳其实体，”他告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“继续针对提供此类支持的公司，将向安卡拉发出明确信息：为伊朗受制裁网络提供便利将带来后果。”
他表示，此类措施可能会对伊朗维持航线的能力产生实际影响。
“如果美国瞄准维持这些受制裁伊朗航空公司运营的支持系统，土耳其私营企业将几乎没有动力继续与其合作，”沙拉维说。“如果这些公司开始切断联系，将极大限制伊朗航空公司运营往返土耳其航线的能力。”
此次针对土耳其的调查结果出炉之际，另一个倡导组织也对华盛顿孤立德黑兰的运动中另一个潜在弱点表示担忧：马来西亚附近海域的伊朗海上商业活动。
反对伊朗核计划联合组织（UANI）在9月25日称，其调查人员在马来西亚东部外港界线附近的南海海域航行约100海里，该组织称在此处观察到与伊朗有关联的油轮、货船和散货船， alongside马来西亚的加油船为这些船只提供燃料。UANI将这些船只的聚集描述为支持伊朗逃避制裁网络的“漂浮城市”。这些调查结果由UANI发布，本稿件尚未经过独立核实。

“亲眼目睹这艘幽灵油轮组成的漂浮城市后，很明显它正在为伊朗政权提供由马来西亚暗中支持的非法生命线，”UANI首席执行官大使马克·D·华莱士在9月25日的一份声明中表示。他指责马来西亚实体提供支持，使德黑兰能够在国际社会对其实施经济孤立的情况下继续创收。
前佛罗里达州州长、UANI主席杰布·布什和华莱士呼吁财政部制裁与马来西亚彭格朗石油综合体相关的实体，以及他们所称的促成此类贸易的马来西亚实体或官员。他们的制裁呼吁是一项倡导立场，并非认定马来西亚实体违反了美国法律。
福克斯新闻数字频道获悉，美国财政部已绘制了伊朗石油走私网络、 facilitators和金融渠道的地图，包括马来西亚海岸外的欺骗性航运活动，财政部高级官员仍在就该问题与马来西亚和其他外国政府 counterparts 进行交涉。

综合来看，防御民主基金会和UANI的调查结果凸显了华盛顿试图切断伊朗与国际航空、航运和金融网络联系的过程中持续存在的执法挑战。美国财政部一直在扩大这场运动：9月29日，财政部宣布新一轮制裁，针对他们所称的为伊朗国防部和武装部队后勤部采购武器和零部件的个人和公司。

At least 83 flights operated by U.S.-sanctioned Iranian airlines landed in Turkey in the five days after a key American sanctions deadline, according to flight data analyzed by the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, putting a new spotlight on whether Washington will enforce its escalating pressure campaign against companies servicing the carriers in a NATO ally.
The Sept. 28 FDD report said U.S. pressure has helped push Iranian airlines out of several regional markets, including Iraq, the United Arab Emirates and Oman, but found that Turkey remains a significant gap in Washington’s effort to ground the carriers.
The findings come after the Treasury Department announced sweeping new sanctions on Iran’s aviation industry on Sept. 8, designating all 27 remaining active Iranian airlines under Executive Order 13902. Treasury said Iran’s aviation sector has been used to transport weapons, personnel and illicit cargo and warned foreign businesses about the risks of continuing to support sanctioned carriers.

The continued Iranian flights come at a sensitive moment in U.S.-Turkey relations. Turkey is a NATO ally, and President Donald Trump has publicly emphasized his close relationship with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan while signaling openness to restoring Ankara’s access to the F-35 fighter jet program. Turkey was removed from the program after purchasing Russia’s S-400 air-defense system, a move that also triggered U.S. sanctions in 2020.
During a July 2026 visit to Turkey, Trump said his administration would lift those sanctions and was considering allowing Ankara to buy F-35s, though congressional restrictions tied to Turkey’s possession of the S-400 remain an obstacle. Erdoğan said as recently as Sept. 24 that he expects Washington to take “concrete steps” toward Turkey’s return to the program.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned that after a Sept. 23 wind-down deadline, companies providing sanctioned Iranian airlines with services such as fuel or landing support risked losing access to the U.S. financial system. FDD cited Bessent saying that by that date, Iranian airlines would be “shut down around the world.”
But FDD researchers Ahmad Sharawi and Sinan Ciddi said their review of Flightradar24 flight histories showed that at least 83 flights operated by U.S.-sanctioned Iranian carriers landed in Turkey between Sept. 23 and Sept. 27, after that deadline had passed. The flights landed in Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir, according to the report.
The researchers identified 12 sanctioned Iranian airlines among the arrivals. Iran Airtour and Caspian Airlines each accounted for 12 landings, Iran Air for 10, and ATA Airlines and AVA Airlines for nine each, according to FDD. Eight of the 12 carriers identified in the flight data were among the airlines newly designated by Treasury on Sept. 8.
IRAN LOSES KEY ECONOMIC LIFELINE IN MIDDLE EAST THAT TRUMP’S SANCTIONS COULDN’T REACH AS DEADLOCK PERSISTS

The Treasury Department told Fox News Digital that it has continued raising the issue directly with senior Turkish officials and has warned Turkish companies and financial institutions about their potential sanctions exposure.
“Following Treasury’s productive engagements with senior Turkish authorities last month, which quickly translated into tangible results — including the cancellation of Mahan Air flights and the revocation of Bank Mellat’s license — we have continued discussions regarding Türkiye’s aviation links to Iran and the sanctions exposure Turkish financial institutions and businesses face for facilitating these flights,” a Treasury spokesperson told Fox News Digital. “We have made those risks clear and continue to address these issues at senior levels with the Turkish government,” the spokesperson said.
The Treasury spokesperson pointed to the administration’s broader “Operation Economic Outcast” campaign, saying it was producing results as Washington seeks to cut off Iran’s remaining sources of revenue and access to international markets. “Operation Economic Outcast is delivering results as Treasury and our partners continue to sever the Iranian regime’s remaining economic lifelines,” the spokesperson said. “Iran’s rial has fallen to record lows, Iran loaded no crude oil onto tankers in September, and countries across the region are taking concrete steps to restrict Iran’s access to the international financial system and commercial aviation.”
“We will continue applying pressure and holding accountable those who provide the regime with the financial and commercial lifelines it needs to sustain its terrorist activities,” the spokesperson added.
Turkey has indeed taken some steps to limit aviation ties with Iran. Turkish Airlines, AJet and Pegasus removed flights to Iran from their schedules, while Mahan Air suspended service to Turkey beginning Sept. 21, according to Turkish Minute, citing airline schedules and reporting by the Financial Times and other outlets.
Mahan Air has been under U.S. sanctions since 2011. The Treasury Department said at the time that the airline provided financial, material and technological support to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force.
Other sanctioned Iranian airlines, however, have continued flying into Turkey. Caspian Airlines and Meraj Air were designated by Treasury as Specially Designated Global Terrorists in August 2014. Treasury said Caspian had transported IRGC personnel and weapons to Syria and said Meraj had ferried illicit cargo, including weapons, to the Syrian government.
Sharawi told Fox News Digital that the continued flights reflect a gap between Ankara’s public steps and its handling of sanctioned Iranian carriers.
“The fact that sanctioned Iranian airlines continue to land in Turkey, despite Washington’s clear effort to restrict their operations, is a testament to Ankara’s willingness to take symbolic measures while turning a blind eye to much of Iran’s broader activity,” Sharawi said.

Sharawi argued that Washington could increase pressure by targeting Turkish companies that continue providing services to sanctioned Iranian carriers.
“Ankara may think it can get away with this, but Washington has not hesitated in the past to sanction Turkish entities that support sanctioned Iranian actors,” he told Fox News Digital. “Continuing to target companies that provide that support would send a clear message to Ankara that facilitating Iran’s sanctioned networks will carry consequences.”
He said such measures could have a practical effect on Iran’s ability to maintain the routes.
“If the United States targets the support system that keeps these sanctioned Iranian carriers operating, private Turkish companies will have much less incentive to continue doing business with them,” Sharawi said. “If those companies begin cutting ties, it could significantly restrict Iranian airlines’ ability to operate routes to Turkey.”
The Turkey findings come as another advocacy group is raising concerns about a different potential weak point in Washington’s campaign to isolate Tehran: Iranian maritime commerce in waters near Malaysia.
United Against Nuclear Iran said Sept. 25 that its investigators traveled roughly 100 nautical miles into the South China Sea near Malaysia’s Eastern Outer Port Limits, where the group said it observed Iranian-linked tankers, cargo vessels and bulk carriers alongside Malaysian bunker vessels supplying ships with fuel. UANI described the concentration of ships as a “floating city” supporting Iran’s sanctions-evasion network. Those findings were produced by UANI and have not been independently verified for this draft.

“After seeing this floating city of ghost tankers with our own eyes, it is clear it is serving as an illicit Malaysia-backed lifeline for the Iranian regime,” UANI CEO Ambassador Mark D. Wallace said in a Sept. 25 statement. He accused Malaysian entities of providing support that allows Tehran to continue generating revenue despite international efforts to economically isolate the regime.
Former Florida Gov. and UANI Chairman Jeb Bush and Wallace called on the Treasury Department to sanction entities associated with Malaysia’s Pengerang petroleum complex as well as Malaysian entities or officials they allege are facilitating the trade. Their call for sanctions is an advocacy position and does not establish that the Malaysian entities have violated U.S. law.
Fox News Digital has learned that Treasury has mapped Iranian oil-smuggling networks, facilitators and financial channels, including deceptive shipping activity off the coast of Malaysia, and that senior Treasury officials continue to raise the issue with Malaysian and other foreign government counterparts.

Taken together, the findings from FDD and UANI highlight what the organizations describe as continuing enforcement challenges as Washington attempts to cut Iran off from international aviation, shipping and financial networks. Treasury has continued expanding that campaign: on Sept. 29, it announced another round of sanctions targeting individuals and companies it said had procured weapons and components for Iran’s Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics.
