The Trump administration has taken measures against Iran's aviation industry as part of its pressure campaign. New sanctions target 27 Iranian airlines and nine service providers and sales agents accused of doing business with Mahan Air. Mahan Air is a private Iranian airline that has been under sanctions since 2011 for allegedly supporting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

The sanctioned service providers and sales agents are located in several countries, including Turkey, Malaysia, Kazakhstan, and the United Arab Emirates. Further details on the sanctions and the affected entities are available from the source. The move is part of a broader effort to pressure Tehran.
