The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has designated six entities and individuals in China, India, Russia, and Iran, including companies serving as general sales agents for sanctioned Iranian airline Mahan Air. These entities, including Shanghai Wings, Tang Xin, Skiez Travels, and Air Cargo Pro, support Mahan Air’s global operations, which facilitate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) military activities, such as transporting weapons and enabling training. OFAC also sanctioned DadeNegar, an IRGC-affiliated front company involved in military targeting. The designations, under Executive Order 13224, aim to disrupt networks enabling Iran’s destabilizing actions. Sanctions prohibit U.S. persons from engaging with designated entities, blocking their assets and imposing penalties for violations. The actions align with efforts to limit the IRGC’s access to resources supporting its activities, including attacks in the Strait of Hormuz.
