U.S. Sanctions India-Based Sales Agent of Iran's Mahan Air
The United States Department of Treasury imposed sanctions on six entities and individuals, including India-based Skiez Travels and Logistics Private Limited, for supporting Iranian airline Mahan Air. The U.S. alleges that Mahan Air, though presenting itself as a civilian carrier, has long supported Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) by providing travel for IRGC-Quds Force personnel, facilitating military training, and aiding the movement of weapons and UAV systems. Other sanctioned general sales agents (GSAs) of Mahan Air include China-based Shanghai Wings International Logistics Co, Russia-based Air Cargo Pro Limited, and Shanghai Elite International Travel Co. The Treasury also designated DadeNegar Startup Studio, an IRGC-affiliated front company that solicited locations of American and Israeli equipment to support Iranian military targeting. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that those supporting the IRGC or Mahan Air are helping sustain a terrorist enterprise and will be cut off from the U.S. financial system.
