U.S. Treasury Sanctions Iranian Airlines, Targeting Aviation Sector Support for Illicit Activities

The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned 36 entities for their role in supporting Iran's aviation sector, which the U.S. government states is used by the regime to transport weapons, personnel, and illicit cargo. This action, part of "Operation Economic Outcast," aims to ground Iranian airlines.
