U.S. Treasury sanctions networks supporting Iran’s Mahan Air, IRGC from India, China, Russia
"The U.S. Treasury Department on Thursday imposed sanctions on six entities and individuals in China, India, Russia and Iran accused of supporting Iran’s Mahan Air, which Washington says has long facilitated the movement of IRGC-Quds Force personnel, weapons and military equipment.The sanctions also target an IRGC-affiliated front company that, according to the Treasury, collected information on the locations of U.S. and Israeli equipment and supported Iranian military targeting during the ongoing conflict.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said those providing financial, logistical, or commercial support to the IRGC or Mahan Air are “helping sustain a terrorist enterprise,” pledging to continue increasing economic pressure on Tehran.
Six of the entities targeted on Wednesday were based in China, according to the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)'s notice." msn
