US Sanctions Six Entities Over Support for Mahan Air
The U.S. government said that some companies help an Iranian airline called Mahan Air.
Mahan Air is said to help the Iranian military move people and weapons.
The U.S. put a list on these companies so that U.S. people can’t do business with them.
The list includes a company in India called Skiez Travels.
The U.S. wants to stop the airline from helping the military.
The U.S. says this is a way to stop terrorism.
The companies are from China, India, Russia, and Iran.
The U.S. will keep looking for more companies that help the airline.
This is part of the U.S. effort to stop the Iranian military from getting weapons.
U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned six entities and individuals linked to Iranian airline Mahan Air.
Sanctions target general sales agents in China, India, Russia, and Iran, including Skiez Travels, Shanghai Wings, Shanghai Elite, Air Cargo Pro, and DadeNegar Startup Studio.
The U.S. claims Mahan Air supports Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps by transporting personnel, weapons, and drones.
Sanctions prohibit U.S. persons from transacting with or owning more than 50% of the designated entities.
The move follows U.S. policy to cut off support for what it calls a terrorist enterprise.
