US sanctions hit Iranian Mahan Airlines
The U.S. Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on Iranian Mahan Air and its supporting networks, accusing them of providing logistical services to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, including the transfer of personnel, military equipment, and drone technologies. The department confirmed that, despite claiming to be a civilian airline, the company played a key role in supporting the Revolutionary Guard and the Quds Force by facilitating the travel of personnel, as well as transporting weapons and military technologies—particularly after operating two flights to Yemen to transfer experts and military supplies to support the Houthis. The sanctions targeted six entities and individuals in China, India, Russia, and Iran, with a warning that any financial or logistical support to the company or the Revolutionary Guard could lead to further sanctions, including against financial institutions that cooperate.
