Aug 25, 2020 (newstodate): The US Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control is chasing Iran's Mahan Airlines on alleged illegal trading.
   The US authority has thus now sanctioned a company and its owner based in the UAE for acting as representatives of Mahan Air, regarded as a veiled venue for country's islamist revolutionary guard.
   Dubai-based Parthia Cargo and Delta Parts Supply FZC and its owner stand accused and banned for their material support for Mahan Air, serving as its cargo forwarding agent by sourcing shipments of aircraft parts, including parts from the United States, directly to Tehran.
   By these means, Mahan Air has been able to purchase not only parts, but also aircraft on the open market including the recent acquisition of an Airbus A310-300 from Uzbekistan Airways using the now-defunct carrier Kyrgyz Trans Avia as a go-between in the business transaction.  
   The aircraft is now used to supply parts to Mahan Air's nine A310 aircraft.
