The US Treasury Department has imposed new sanctions on Iran, targeting the support networks of the Iranian airline Mahan Air, according to Israeli media reports. The Treasury has approved multiple rounds of sanctions on Iranian entities in recent weeks.
The US Treasury Department has imposed a new round of sanctions targeting Iran, specifically aimed at the support networks of the Iranian airline Mahan Air, according to N12. The designation targets the financial and logistical infrastructure that sustains Mahan Air, which has long been under US sanctions for transporting weapons and personnel for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
The Treasury has imposed multiple rounds of sanctions on Iranian entities in recent weeks, including designations on oil tankers, financial networks, and entities involved in evasion schemes, as The Zioneer has reported. These measures are part of Washington's ongoing maximum pressure campaign against the Iranian regime, which has intensified following the collapse of the Islamabad Agreement framework.
Mahan Air has been a recurring target of US sanctions due to its role in shipping military equipment to Iranian proxies in the region. The new sanctions aim to disrupt the support networks that enable the airline's continued operations despite previous designations.
