A major air traffic disruption hit the U.S. Northeast after construction workers accidentally damaged a backup communications cable needed for air traffic control. Hundreds of flights were delayed as ground stops affected major airports across New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, just as New York prepares to host the United Nations General Assembly. The aviation chaos comes at a striking moment for Iran. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has warned that Iranian airlines could be effectively shut out of international aviation from September 23, with foreign companies facing sanctions risks if they provide fuel, landing services or ticket sales to Iranian carriers. #usairports #faa #flightdelays #airtrafficcontrol #flightchaos #aviationnews #iran #iranwar #iranianairlines #scottbessent #iranupdates #usiran #trump #ungeneralassembly #unga #newyork #newyorknews #breakingnews #usnews #geopolitics #middleeast #sanctions #globalaviation #airportnews #latestnews Time
