US Imposes Sanctions on Entities Supporting Iran's Mahan Air and IRGC Networks
The US Department of the Treasury announced sanctions against six entities and individuals in China, India, Russia, and Iran for supporting Iran's Mahan Air, which the US alleges facilitates the transport of weapons, military personnel, and intelligence for the IRGC-Quds Force. The sanctions also target an IRGC-linked front company involved in gathering intelligence on American and Israeli military assets. These measures follow earlier sanctions on oil tankers and corporate entities linked to an IRGC maritime insurance scheme funding regime operations.
