US Sanctions Entities in India, China, Russia for Supporting Iran's Mahan Air
The US Department of the Treasury sanctioned six entities and individuals in China, India, Russia, and Iran for supporting Iran's Mahan Air, which the US alleges facilitates transport of weapons, military personnel, and equipment for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Sanctioned entities include general sales agents like India-based Skiez Travels and China-based companies. The Treasury also targeted an IRGC-affiliated front company involved in intelligence gathering. US officials emphasized cutting off financial and logistical support to what they describe as a terrorist enterprise linked to Tehran.
