"At my direction, teams were dispatched across the globe to engage with countries and demand action against the Iranian regime," he said on X. “These efforts are delivering results,” he wrote. Bessent noted that Turkey and Oman have halted incoming flights from private carrier Mahan Air, while the United Arab Emirates has stopped all flights by Iranian airlines.
