October 26, 2020

On August 19, 2020, OFAC designated two UAE-based companies, Parthia Cargo and Delta Parts Supply FZC, for their material support of Iranian airline Mahan Air. OFAC is also designating UAE-based Iranian national Amin Mahdavi for owning or controlling Parthia Cargo. OFAC alleges that Parthia Cargo served as a freight forwarding agent of Mahan Air and regularly forwarded consignments of aircraft parts, including U.S.-origin parts, from UAE directly to Mahan Air in Tehran, as well as to Mahan Air front companies in Istanbul.  Furthermore, Delta Parts Supply FZC is alleged to have sold key aviation goods, including U.S.-origin parts, directly to Mahan Air or its front companies.
