The United States has imposed sanctions on six entities and individuals, including India-based Skiez Travels, over allegations that they supported Iran's Mahan Air. US authorities said the network helped keep the airline operating and linked the case to entities associated with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC.
According to the US, Mahan Air is part of a broader support structure that Washington views as connected to a terrorist enterprise. The latest action focuses on companies and people the US says played a role in providing assistance that benefited the airline and related Iranian-linked operations.
Skiez Travels stands out in the case because it is based in India, making the move notable beyond the immediate US-Iran sanctions context. The measures place the travel company alongside five other sanctioned targets as Washington continues to tighten enforcement around networks it alleges are helping sanctioned Iranian entities.
The development adds to long-running US pressure on Mahan Air and organizations accused of aiding it. While the full scope of the sanctions' impact will depend on enforcement and international compliance, the announcement signals continued scrutiny of businesses and intermediaries suspected of supporting restricted Iranian networks.
