US Imposes Sanctions on Mahan Air Support Network Worldwide
The U.S. Treasury said it would stop people and companies that help a certain Iranian airline, Mahan Air, from doing business.
Mahan Air is said to help the Iranian military move people, weapons, and drones.
The U.S. named six companies and people in India, China, Russia, and Iran that help Mahan Air.
They are now banned from using U.S. money and banks.
The U.S. wants to make it harder for the Iranian military to get supplies and support.

Sanctioned companies act as general sales agents in India, China, and Russia.
The U.S. alleges the network helps the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps transport personnel, weapons, and drones.
